My Concern

It would appear that the elections are slowly creeping up on us. In the red corner, there’s welterweight Barack Obama. Opposing him in the blue corner is the enfeebled John McCain who is looking more and more like Roosevelt every day.

It's going to quite the epic battle. It'll be like Plessy vs. Ferguson except with a more balloons and black people will be allowed in the first row.

Here is my concern.

I personally think Obama has a better shot at this. Ignoring some unforeseen circumstance, I'll go ahead and say Obama will be president. An African-American president. Incredible. Or is it?

In every movie about the future, there always seems to be a black president. Cause that's the futuristic "thing" right? It's either a black president or a woman president (and let's face it, that's a long way off). But in these movies, that’s when something terrible happens. Nuclear bomb, terrorists only Jack Bauer can deal with, alien attacks, zombie attacks, alien zombie attacks, etc.

These are awful things that always seem to be in the near future. Why? Black president. It'll happen soon, but not too soon for everyone to worry. But now it seems that the future is now. Time to worry.

That's why I'm telling everybody to vote for John McCain. Because otherwise we’ll soon be in a post-apocalyptic zombie-filled world, and I don't think I fit the personality type of a surviving character.


Byah!
