Boycotts,Bullshit, And Bar BQ Ribs

I have actually been thinking about doing this post for some time now, I have just been terribly busy. I am boycotting a couple of things and I have to mention it because I am not a political person, or at least I never believed myself to be so until recently. I used to really enjoy Rachel Ray and Jones cola, not necessarily together or in any particular order. But since deciding to register to vote because if I don’t and McCain/McSatan gets into office I only have myself to blame and further more I can’t bitch about it because I didn’t do the responsible thing and cast my vote. So being a responsible soon to be voter I figured I better pay attention and so I have been and I have found a very political side of myself willing to argue issues and points and boycott things and people I don’t agree with.

Poor Jones cola, so easily swayed by catchy gimmicks and names has foolishly come out with a Pure McCain (made with pure cane sugar) cola, I am no longer a drinker of these delicious beverages because if a company can back a man that will only further damage this country like his predesessor I am no longer a purchaser of their wares. Rachel Ray made a concious choice as I see it, a choice wiser women, with bigger audiences were not publicly making. In other words Rachel invited McBush…er I mean McCain on to her show to make his ‘famous’ Bar BQ Ribs (yeah right!) and failed to invite Barack Obama on, only showing her support for McCain, where a smarter woman like Oprah fully supports Barack but has said she will have neither candidate on her show because she doesn’t use her show as a political soap box.

The funny thing about all this, or maybe its ironic is that in boycotting Rachel Ray I started watching other shows and Ellen Degeneres was one I flipped on and it happened to be the day that Ozzy Osbourne’s wife Sharon was on and instead of talking about her current show Americas Got Talent she was in the midst of a tirade about how McCain’s choice of running mate just goes to show how stupid he believes the population of American women to be, that he had no interest in choosing her for any great deal of knowledge or ability he just needed some gimmik to gain him a minority voting populus so since blacks were obviously taken he grabbed the first free women he could find in hopes of gaining the woman minority. Like we are stupid drones that will see a women and instantly go “oh I better vote for him now…a….duh.” And lets just put this into perspective, this incredibly intelligent tirade was issuing from the mouth of a woman who was the manager and then became the wife of a man who once was known for biting the heads off bats on stage.

It doesn’t take a genius, a rock star, or a cola company ad exec. to see whats simply fact though and that’s what and who are good for our future, our countries future, I mean things are really in the crapper, financially this country is screwed and its going to take a long time to fix it, a helluva lot longer than it took Bush to screw it up, but first we have to get the right guy in office to at least start. This is not an ad for Barack Obama but just an informed opinion about a man that wants to help the little guy (or gal) and fix this country, he needs no gimmicks, no kissing, or hauling around Autistic babies, he just knows what will work, and that is change. And if given the opportunity I bet he knows how to make some tasty ribs!
