american idiot|09.10.04 I’ve never known my father to be very politically aware, let alone have a party affiliation. So I was a little surprised when he sent me an email telling me to register to vote because “a Democrat in any office is a failure at any level.” Seriously? Guess I should’ve seen the warning signs. He does work for the biggest oil company in Alaska (or only oil company in Alaska, I’m not sure), Schwarzenegger’s his fucking idol, and he loves nothing more than to drink beer and murder animals with large firearms while calling it a sport. I wonder which one of his fat redneck huntin’ buddies spewed that little chunk of rhetoric on him so he could turn around and spew it on me, ‘cause I know he didn’t come up with it all by himself. “Dear Dad, not only have I already registered to vote, as a Democrat, but I also contributed a portion of my meager paycheck to their presidential campaign. P.S. Since your birthday’s coming up, I need to know what size Kerry/Edwards t-shirt you wear.” This Thanksgiving’s gonna be awesome. |
