(Official Rubinville Memo: As of this post, all embedded videos will be centered just like all pictures are centered. The complaint department is tired of the constant barrage of e-mails.)
So Hillary's campaign has been caught planting questions to audience members at her town-hall meetings in Iowa. It seems to me that people should be more annoyed about this but I suppose it just is indicative of the current political/social/ethical climate in the country. I mean George is well known to pack crowds only with his supporters, and FEMA actually faked a news conference during the California fires. I guess what she did is no worse, but it'd be nice if we could expect a little more from our leaders. You know, like as maybe just as much as we expect from Pakistani leaders.
(Insert theme song to Fantasy Island.)
As long as I'm doing politics today, I also found it interesting how Republican candidate Ron Paul was able to raise over 4 million bucks in one day last week and it barely got noticed by the media. Instead they focused on how accomplished the feat on November 5th, which was the day that Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the British House of Parliament in 1605. By focusing on that event instead of what he accomplished in fund-raising, the media again once skirted the issue of a small time politician doing something incredible, and instead simply got more people to go out to rent V for Vendetta.
Most of you know that I do love that movie, however, and have often thought about blowing up the House of Parliament here in America. Unfortunately, we don't have one, so I'll just have to wait till they build one.
Actually come to think of it, instead of waiting that long, if they ever do decide to build one maybe I'll just get in good with one of the sub-contractors and have him do a shoddy job. Perhaps I'll have him install a leaky toilet or use sub-standard grouting for the tiles in the lobby.
(It should be noted that I'm writing at Starbucks today, which is clearly making me go a little bonkers, not only in the text of what I am writing but also the fact that I have used parenthesis on three separate occasions.)
Ok, that's all for now, I think the man sitting next to me is reading what I'm writing. Hey, you bastard, stop reading this! Stop, stop, I say!*
*I don't know why this whole thing is in a different font than usual, maybe I should ask this prick next to me...
