Yeah, yeah, don’t worry I’m not one of those bloggers standing on a soap box today and exhorting you to go out and vote. Hell, I can’t even vote because I’m not a citizen.

But sometimes the non-citizens of this country can offer the most insightful and provocative observations of this country. Like Tocqueville or Bernard Henri Levy.

Um, yeah, I’m no French intellectual so I coaxed my dear friend to offer her insights because she is one of the few people I trust when it comes to assessing politics in this country. She is my political compass. Why? Because she’s fucking smart and can dance circles around any of those people on Meet the Press. And she’s hi-larious. Yeah, not only do I judge people’s intelligence on their political leanings but I also evaluate their sense of humor. So this girl is like Einstein in my book.

Well, about as specific as I can get with the voting advice is this: a Democrat. I would definitely advise your readers against voting for a Republican… unless of course some of your readers are rich. in that case, they probably should vote for a GOP candidate. Probably Huckabee because he wants to destroy our world as we know it by getting rid of the IRS and making everyone pay the same amount of sales tax… nice guy.

i like both Hillary and Obama, but I don’t think that middle-class white men will vote for them in the privacy of a voting booth because the undercurrents of racism and sexism in this country are stronger than the national media recognizes. i just hope that there are enough of the other people out there who don’t suck to give the Democrats a victory. But I am so skeptical. I am thinking in the end, John McCain will be president, and the writers of our generation will talk about this time as when the Democrats were incredibly idealistic and incredibly naive. Oh wait, haven’t we heard that before…..!

Um, and as for whether or not my readers are rich, I am curious too. Shall I give you affluent readers the number to my pay pal account?
