One Week to Go
I will not write about politics
I will not write about politics
I will not write about politics
I will …
Dammit.
OK. One week to go till the big election. I know your mind is made up. I know you are sick of reading blogs where people try shove their point of view down your throat. I just want you to consider something before you vote. I want you to consider the people who have this misfortune to live in Iraq right now. Here is a link to a blog written by an Iraqi citizen. If you have any open mindedness left in you, give this a read before you vote.
In my blog reading tonight, I came across a new music video that had real political depth, and it seemed sincere and spoke to it’s audience without parroting anyone’s talking points. By far the best political, protest song in a generation. This was even more shocking to me considering the artist responsible: Eminem. I do not like rap music, I do not like Eminem. I’m a cranky 30something that prefers my 80s-90s alterna-rock or some nice relaxing jazz. But I liked it. I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks to JuliusBlog and onegoodmove for pointing me to it.
If you are curious check it out:
In other news we’ve lost a bunch of explosives in Iraq. I’m not even going to bother to get myself worked up about this. You’ve heard about it already, if you’ve been listening.
I will do my best to have no more political entries till after the election.
