CLINTON vs OBAMA






vs










Well clearly men can rise in an uproar and root for any team they wish nowadays with clear knowledge of their favorite teams' forward by name or number. I mean really who's Cheryl Swoops? Who's Michael Jordan? The 2nd question is obvious. Well am I comparing Obama to the NBA? NO! And spare me the racist remarks. The pictures above represent Basketball and two leagues comprised of superstars that play the game RIGHT? YES! But do they both air on National Television? Of Course. The NCAA also just had their Final Four: Mens National Champions Kansas over Memphis and Womens National Champions Tennessee over Stanford, both very memorable games. "Damn! Did you see that Kansas shot in the final game?" Of course some guys are howling, yelling, or even high fiving each other regardless of the school or geographic location it represents, its just damn good basketball and it makes great headlines. That Kansas/Memphis game will be talked about for quite some time. Why because Kansas hasn't had a championship in quite a while? NOT exactly, its just in our Male DNA to speak of those types of games to some degree. I dont know if you can guess where Im going with this blogging at this point but hang tight I'll begin to make sense of the Headline in a few sentences. Is the NBA far more superior than the WNBA? Maybe, more marketable, more star recognition, more history etc. right? Well not exactly, its the following it has. You see the following means alot in many ways, Men love the game of basketball and so do women dont get me wrong, but its also the women that enjoy watching the NBA over the WNBA you see. Now does that mean women should only watch the WNBA? NO Not at all, but they probably have more history of following it for arguments sake. SO, getting to the Headline Clinton vs Obama, is this a Black vs. White? Democrat vs Democrat? Political Ideology? To War or Not to War? Economy? Or Whatever Bush Screwed up? NO! Its as simple as WNBA vs NBA... NOW when you figure out why the NBA is far more Popular than the WNBA then you'll understand why Obama is far more popular than Clinton, reasons why he leads in the POPULAR VOTE....But hey Gore won the Popular vote against Bush and we saw where that got him huh? Well some analysts analyze daily as to what Clinton or Obama can do to garner the nomination and plenty of finger pointing has been done, but the sad truth is that our Country is a Sexist Country that lags behind culturally than its European counterparts to some extent, NOW does that mean I gotta LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT? HA! Fat chance, Theirs no place Id rather live, but Im calling a spade a spade. We tend to be sexist and the proof is in the pudding. NBA is far more popular than its female Counterpart. The NCAA final four Mens had a far greater attendance and television viewers than the NCAA final four Womens. Why Basketball? Is it because Obama is black? NO, but their are no Womens NFL, MLB, or NASCAR. Soccer in the olympics maybe or volleyball in the olympics as well, but Men seem to garner the most popularity. We've had 43 men run this free world for quite some time and a new universal face will garner the popularity of the rest of the world for once in quite a while. You see corporate America isnt kindly welcomed throughout most of the world due to the workings of one man's rule, BUSH, so now they need to quite the riots with a more universally known face of peace while corporate America will be accepted to run business as usuall. You see other countries dont know us Americans, they percieve us to be what our Presidents are. What can be further from truth. A country's people reflect its leadership and we need to be percieved as culturally tolerant, peaceful, and united and I guess they figure that Obama is that voice and face to get our Corporate entities' feet back in the door of other countries. Right about now its about MIGHT makes RIGHT with BIG OIL. Politics for one has taken a back seat to Popularity. Are they one in the same? Not exactly, you see in order to be able to apply policy, one must know about policy domestically and abroad. Now whos got that experience. And if that isnt enough, how does one person tie in so many Egos in Washington to set policy. Yeah that word POLICY will be one overused word in the next Administration for one reason: Too much policy has been written due to the change of so many laws due to 911. Nevermind the policy jargon, Laws, day to day operations on the Hill, Senate, or all over the world, We simple minded Americans just wanna watch Sports dominated by men and hope to make our choices in politics using the same methods we make our final four brackets, (heads or tales flip of a coin) Again we're simple minded men that have a history of being Ruled by men, being entertained by television and sports. And if sports and politics are dominated by men, then thats what it shall be for the next decade and so on. Our Bible, our religion, our History has been dominated by men and a woman is merely made of a man's rib right? Well that seems to be our common way of thinking as has been for most part of our history. And that is why I compared the WNBA to the NBA, and the headline read Clinton vs Obama, because this election will be decided by OUR HISTORY. WE AS A PEOPLE ARE SEXIST. Clinton has the same chance of surpassing Obama's popularity as does the WNBA surpassing the NBA 's Popularity. Is that an unfair comparison? You bet it is, but that is the same measuring stick they're using to compare these two candidates. Its not about knowledge or experience, its simpler than that, its about WHO DO I LIKE....Not to be President, Governor, Pastor, King, or Queen, NOPE its just WHO DO WE LIKE...Im sure many of you had that one teacher that no matter what, students just didnt like em, or that one student that nobody cared to associate with. Yep, we're that type of creature. Our history, literature and cinema has warped our mentallity into thinking that their will always be a love story with the Protaganist beating the Antagonist in the end. The Press has earmarked its Protaganist and its Antagonist this election and people whole heartedly have been bitten by the Polly-wood-itics and have chosen their role in this historical election. How will you decide in the booth as to who you like? Will you think about the story of the Protaganist(Good) vs Antagonist(Bad)? or will you prefer the Popular choice WNBA vs NBA? or will you nonconsciencously pick the choice you've been groomed to pick since you were a child, Mans world and Men rule it?

ANOTHER POLITICIAN DOWN IN HIDALGO COUNTY!!

Britney Spears song, "Oops I did it again, " is blazing in the background and people are at an awe again on how another former politician took to the good ol mug shot on the local news. This time it was Former City Councilman Eddie Johnson. Boy how many does that make now? It seems that this county got the Hollywood bug, meaning approval ratings go way up when you have a brush with the law. Well it worked for Matthew McConauhe, Mel Gibson, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, and now our very own politicians. Maybe he'll run for office again and win, now that he's gotten his 15 minutes of fame. I saw his mug shot on the News, he didnt seem to have a care in the world with that big ol grin from ear to ear, Which brings me to one conclusion: Why do most people taking a mug shot all of sudden get a serious face and fail to smile. Granted its not the most honorable picture you'll ever take, but it is the one that will be viewed the most next to your myspace mug. I can rant along about this Johnson fellow till I'm blue in the face, but the thing is he aint seeking office nor attacking the integrity of those who pulled him over. So that being said, it really doesnt matter what I have to say about some individual's private life, but its just when they decide to seek public office they are to be held to some standard. Had this young man been in public office when this occurred, I'd be picketing via blog for his resignation. enews has tried to tie this man to other political factions and bank, but in reality, are we suppose to screen those we socialize with? Are we suppose to run background checks on people that choose to be our friends or co-workers? If any of that were true, imagine how discredited we'd be when old friends from high school ended up in jail for any type of offenses. I am not one to sit there and say, geez you remember that guy that was on our baseball team, well he's in jail now, how embarrassing to us would that really be? To each their own. These public officials messing up seems to be the latest fad that has to end at some point.
