The news on CNN and USA Today presented an announcement for the people who want to care about politics, but don't have the time, so they wait someone "smarter" and "more informed" to tell them what to do. No, no, they didn't introduce the parent going into the voting booth with their children feature, but they did announce that Chuck Norris threw his support behind Mike Huckabee and Oprah Winfrey is officially supporting Barack Obama.
It disgusts me that society is so far gone that they are depending on pop culture figures and
From Mike Huckabee for President:
I have deep, personal issues with Oprah, yes, but she is on top of things 51% of the time so her vouching for a campaign is completely understandable. But, once again, CHUCK NORRIS?
The man only knows roundhouse kicks and beard maintenance!
I'm getting away from myself. Here is the point:
Society needs to learn how to research and make decisions for itself, especially in regards to policy, candidates for any electable office (raise your hand and tell me if you know what the Texas state Railroad Commissioner does. That's what I thought, and you elect someone to that spot every time it comes around), and any facet of our government. George Clooney wants people to care about Darfur, so they do. Leonardo DiCaprio wants you to care about global warming (and only recently has accepted that it's called "climate change"), so they do. These are serious issues that need attention, but... you know... "what can one person do? Darfur is really far away and I love my SUV even if Leo has pretty eyes."
Chuck Norris wants people to care about Mike Huckabee, so now millions of frat boys everywhere who live their lives by the Chuck Norris Facts are actually going to go vote and get a inbred-looking, wall-eyed, gun nut into office.
Good work, Hollywood. Thanks for stepping in.
Pat Sajak gets it. Why doesn't she?
