The Archetypes of Politics

Well, the Repub's have their trinity: McCain (Warrior), Mitt the Twit (Merchant), and Huckabee (Preacher). Quite honestly, I thought Ayn Rand had deconstructed all these ideals in "For the New Intellectual." And, basically, declared them as mythical. Not rational conservatism. But, there ya go.

But, for the Dem's. Is it any different. Yes, a little bit. Now there is the woman (virgin Hillary? Whoops). The Obama black man (Really? How can you be the black man when your genes, historical reality, and primary color is "mocha." More Starbuks than truth.) And, well, John. Such a WASP name. With a house big enough to be declared a site for any small nation of refugees (maybe we can still create Zionism in John's house?"

The two party was one of the greatest fears of the more liberal founders of this country (House of Lords. House of Commmons.)

Anyway, my guess is that we're going to get stuck with the semi-warrior (McCain--he did get shot down. Not very competent) and the semi-feminist (Hillary--the lawyer).


Such is the nature of what we get...


But, vote anyway. There's a new day a' comin.

Then, bitch like hell at whichever of these legacies gets elected. It is the only way that, maybe, we'll get our sense of self back.

ok?
