i wonder if shady public officials have to get their emissions tested when they register their cars? do they even have to register their cars?
you know, i would probably make a great shady public official. i love the boss in parks & recreation, the anti-government government official. i wonder if my cult-leader charisma could get me elected for anything... if i voted regularly, i'd vote for me. election only though. none of that appointment nonsense. then you are beholden to something. how would i have my random, chaotic, mischievous fun if someone thought i owed them something? i probably wouldn't even seem that shady. all i would have to do is reduce my salary by 3% or something and i'd have carte blanche to do whatever i wanted.
lets form a campaign. i'd need my own political party. i'm thinking the grey party. slogan ideas that immediately pop to mind are "because nothing is black and white" punctuated by an ironic black and white photograph of me, looking shady and possibly diabolical, and "its nice here in the shade" with a picture of me sleeping under some tree. maybe there will be some volunteer work going on around me or something. the important part is i am sleeping in the shade. ooh ooh, maybe my shadow is stretching off doing something shady while i am sleeping. i may have hit on something here. people aren't looking for something thought provoking, they are looking for something catchy to latch on to, so they can feel smart, informed, and smugly superior without actually having to think. it is a lazy man's approach to opinion, so if i can subliminally pander to that inherent laziness, i can be an unstoppable force. apparently, remember simple phrases is what passes for intelligence, and oh man can i make up barely-sensical phrases. to the moon! until the wheels fall off, babe, until the wheels fall off! i didn't even make those up, and they are already working.
vote ben, its the right thing for the right stuff. and we all know my opinions on stuff. stuff is good. things are generally bad. but if you can find the right thing, and then have it directly and positively influence stuff? well now, well now indeed.
