That Idea Was So Last Election...

I know that Apu was once voted the most famous Indian in the USA, but things are going to change for everyone's favourite Kwik-E-Mart manager. As is now often the case in politics, stereotypes are ripe for utter and shameless exploitation. Hey, Hillaristas - you want a woman? We have women, meet Caribou Barbie...

Well, world, get ready for the Republican Party's newest move of desperation. Do we have any black/white Hawaiians? Nope? Hey, who's that in Louisiana? Is he foreign or is he just tan? (Send Berlusconi to check on that for us please). Oh he's an Indian? Sioux? Oh, from India, oh Indian but from Baton Rouge. He likes guns, he likes Christians, he hates abortion and doesn't support gay marriage. America, welcome the new non-whitey GOP Obama clone, 'Obama v. 2.0', Bobby Jindal! The Republican Party is like a SNL skit without the irony. Maybe irony is dead. How sad.

Back to Black

OK, so this week Al Qaeda numero 2, Ayman al-Zawahri, called Obama a 'house Negro' like Colin Powell and Condi Rice, which makes it official, nobody thinks Obama is half white anymore.

On to stranger things in the world of identity... I know that you can convert to another religion, but I didn't realize that in that same ceremony you could choose to convert into a woman? Artist formerly known as Michael Jackson (seen here in Dubai) in full Muslim female dress post-conversion. WTF? I see they let him keep his white socks and black moon walking shoes. Not so sure what is going on with his poor child.

Triumph

When all is said and done, this remains the best election coverage of all...





...for me to poop on.

Happy Thanksgiving

Now that the euphoria has died down over the man who was not black enough to be 'black' to the man who suddenly became the blackest African American in the US, La Palin offers us a little insight into what the good folks of Alaska are up to. Is this woman completely illiterate? She can't seem to make any sense. It's really hard to believe there's someone out there who makes Bush sound literate. It's also deeply sad to think that this is as good as it gets up there in Alaska. No wonder all the young people who haven't gotten knocked up by 17 want to leave. Gobble gobble, be thankful this year you're not an Alaskan turkey (and I don't just mean the bird).



On this godly week to come... although I'm not a big fan of Bill Maher, who is kinda the new Michael Moore, I nevertheless thoroughly enjoyed his explanation of religion (scroll to about 3:00 minutes):

That One is the One!!!

4:01 am GMT - it's official! Hooray, thank god I can go to sleep. Good luck and good night!

The One and That One

0:13 GMT. Here in London, my today is already your tomorrow. In 48 hours the good people of the US will be doing one of the following:

1) welcoming a new era of unfettered sunshine and rainbows that end in buckets of love and happiness
2) examining the fine print in regulations for immigration to Canada
3) wallowing in the grips of 24/7 reporting about voter fraud

In the meantime, The One is free. I hope this is an auspicious sign of things to come tomorrow... Maikaʻi Pomaika‘i!
