What, do I need to comment on this? You people really like watching go around chasing my own literary tail, now dont’cha? Well… just in case this picture doesn’t speak volumes in and of itself (or otherwise in case you still haven’t had that morning coffee which usually kicks off your neurons), I’ll provide you with a little extra something straight from one of America’s most reliable news sources:

WASHINGTON—African-American man Barack Obama, 47, was given the least-desirable job in the entire country Tuesday when he was elected president of the United States of America. In his new high-stress, low-reward position, Obama will be charged with such tasks as completely overhauling the nation’s broken-down economy, repairing the crumbling infrastructure, and generally having to please more than 300 million Americans and cater to their every whim on a daily basis. As part of his duties, the black man will have to spend four to eight years cleaning up the messes other people left behind. The job comes with such intense scrutiny and so certain a guarantee of failure that only one other person even bothered applying for it. Said scholar and activist Mark L. Denton, “It just goes to show you that, in this country, a black man still can’t catch a break.”

time for A-change

Just to make something clear: at the time I’m writing this there is still no word on the result of the Presidential Elections… so everything can happen. But you know what? America is such a huge place, and even though there is massive moronity (as demonstrated in the previous 2 elections), there is also much hope and willingness to make a better tomorrow… after all we’re talking about the global cauldron. If there’s no hope for America, there’s no hope for the world.Fortunately though, I’m very confident there is hope for America, as well as for the world.

I perceive positive change all around, and some things are changing indeed. Let’s take this Obama guy, for example… it has been a few years since I’ve first heard about him, and I always got a distinctive feeling there was something… different – in a good way – about him; and it turns out I’m not the only one to think so. Like I said, at the time I’m writing this there’s still no word on who the next president of the USA is going to be, but in my mind, the answer to that question has been quite clear for a long, long time (even when I once stated otherwise… but that was just to confuse the Republicans). And the answer is:

Change We Demanded.

I usually don’t like meddling with politics in this slice-of-life website, but this cartoon I’ve just come across is too funny not to post it here. Not only that, it speaks volumes about something we’re all familiar with: human ignorance and social manipulation. Needless to say, I’m hoping the shadows of disinformation will be overcome by the light of understanding, next fall.
