Thought for the Day

Groupie: ...but why have you stopped mentioning the President by name, Thor? Why don't you personalize it more?

Thor: Because blaming him for what they're doing is like blaming Ronald McDonald for the hamburgers. He's just their frontman. I doubt they even let him into the meetings.

We were talking, last night, about whether or not the next US presidential elections will really effect change, or if it's more like changing the corporate shill. Sadly, I expect that it's the latter.

I think it'd be a shame if all the people who are currently angry and politicized start thinking that everything's okay after the next election.

This has long been my opinion on the issue. As much as Bush makes my blood boil at times, I don't think he's the source of the problems, and making him such a famously hated guy seems in many ways a calculated act of creating a fall guy.
