I don't get politics. At all. Can't stand it. Democrats and republicans are the same to me. I don't know which one's the donkey and which one's the elephant. I liken George Bush to Homer Simpson. They're both basically the same. I'm not an avid Simpsons watcher, but if ever they met I'm sure they'd have a lot to talk about. They're ever so similar in their choices of activities. Homer drinks a lot, therefore he pukes a lot. Bush pukes a lot. Homer has had some wacky automobile accidents in his time. Bush can top that. He's crashed into a London police officer on his bicycle while waving to an audience.

Though a sad incident for the officer, I'd say it's a decisive occurrance for the state of America. Animated American comedies have a formula that our government, apparently, has taken a liking to. One day a big-name company has a radical idea which calls for the hire of the stupidest, most incompetent man they could possibly find. They put him in the seat, and watch the company thrive under his nose. I dunno, democracy. I don't think it's working. But as I said, I don't get politics.

I also don't get this: the National Debt Clock. I mean, damn. What a number. I doubt I'll ever see that much in the entire duration of my life, unless they make me a financial manager for Wal-Mart, or Starbucks. Or Halliburton. If Myspace were a company for profit, I'd buy stock in it, or something, regardless of the fact that I know close to nothing about stock.

But I'm only sixteen; I don't need to buy stock in an anti-Constitutional government monopoly. All I need is a pen, a pencil, Panda Express, this laptop, and an occasional relationship (one-night stand).

I also learned today that adoption is bad. Don't adopt. It's evil. Ignore the fact that my mom was adopted and without her I wouldn't exist. It's wrong to go to China and adopt adandoned girls and take them back to America. And as I am writing this admonition with complete sarcasm I'm starting to wonder if I'm really being sarcastic. Are abandoned children from outside of America really better off if you take them back with you?

Well, only if you're smart. And most of us just aren't smart. We don't think about where our new child is from. We're shopping for children, kind of like searching for that perfect kitty-cat to take home. We just want to assimilate her into our burger-grubbing lives and make her into an odd Asian-American girl who looks nothing like her white parents. I dunno. We like to play into stereotypes. All Chinese kids are geniuses, you know. Rich, quiet, wonderful geniuses with pretty slanted eyes. It must really hurt when you care for a child for a whole sixteen years and discover he's letting you down with mediocre looks and ungodly straight B's on his report card.

I feel for you, you rich bastards.
