The Last Surprise

Here's some MS Paint blasphemy for you- I was inspired just as I fell asleep last night. Because everyone knows Jesus would rather have a party than some boring old dinner. I hope you enjoy my sloppy Paint skillz.

Today is the day before Election Day.

Or should I say ELECTION DAY. These commercials are getting ridiculous. My favorite one is the bit where we're taken to a Chinese lecture hall at some school sometime in the vague future. They talk about how the US failed, like all other empires, because they tried to spend their way out of a recession.

I think it's adorable that the Council for Ignorant Americans or whoever made the ad thinks any professor, Chinese or otherwise, would teach such stupidity. I can't think of any empires that failed because they tried to spend their way out of a recession. They also claim that China will own us, which isn't true. If people were paying better attention, they would have noticed that Japan recently bought most of our debts from China. So we're owned by the Japanese, idiots. It's cute because not only does it portray the Chinese as being evil, but it also acts like this recession (which I believe we're on the recovering end of, btw) is going to be the death of America.

There's another one that features a "Canadian" woman talking about how her government-run healthcare tried to kill her because she had cancer and they wouldn't take care of her. She goes on to say she came to the US and we took care of her. I have this to say- if she had the money to be treated in the US, she would've had the money to get fast treatment in Canada. It's not like they don't allow you to pay for treatment if you have the bank to pay for it.

Stupid politics.

Also, this last weekend was Halloween weekend. When Halloween is on every other day of the week, it just lasts for one night and it's over. But when Halloween is on a Sunday, everyone is really confused about when is the appropriate time to celebrate. This causes the phenomenon I am now dubbing "Halloween Weekend," when people spent Friday, Saturday, and Sunday partying and/or begging for candy. My neighbors had parties all three nights, and it was obnoxious and annoying. I realize I'm supposed to be of the age when partying sounds great, but I'm not. I like sleep. I like lying in bed on a cold evening and reading a novel. I really don't care if people think I have the attitude of an old lady; I agree with them. So it was not appreciated when my neighbors' guests were screaming and shouting in the stairway outside my room.

So in general, I can't wait till Thanksgiving. No more political ads. No partying; who the hell parties on Thanksgiving? It will hopefully be quiet for a few days.

Till that Saturday, at least. And then our football team plays BYU.
