Its The Vapid Insufferability, Stupid
Jules Crittenden
...Im thinking, You know, I didnt just shell out 30-odd bucks to listen to you two dingbats babble on about your precious Messiah. But I dont say anything unpleasant. Dont want to crap on their gushfest. Its their Day One. In fact, Im more tempted to put on a big grin and chime in, Gosh, it really was great, wasnt it?
What a bangup end to eight great years! Dont you love the way Bush went out with his head high, even with the catcalls from the peanut gallery? I am so grateful that man was our president in such difficult times. Nice to see the other side get a chance, though. Wicked historic. I hope the young fella doesnt screw it up. You know, Iraq and stuff!
But I dont. I try to be polite and mind my own business, most of the time. I usually avoid mocking random strangers or frankly, even speaking to them if I dont have to, and as a rule avoid engaging store clerks on politics. One of the hallmarks of Obamism and BDS in general, though, is the assumption that everyone else shares your view and wants to talk about it. Around here, anyway....
I try to keep the mockery among friends, maybe offering a little of it gratis to a handful of special dolts on the Internet. But if Starbucks corporate practice and the new American public discourse is going to continue to be about annoying me in the morning with insufferably vapid Obama gush, I may need to reconsider that policy.
