amerikkkan demockracy
New York cares.
why are Halloween parties always weird? disregarding the transvestites, 70's socialites, coked-up art students, John-Lennon-from-India-turned-adult-film-star types, Devo dressups, wheelchair girls that shake massive booty, Lou Diamond Phillips, trashy Prom dates from the late 80's and Iranian dudes who dressed up as, well, an Iranian dude. Halloween parties are indeed strange.
frivolty aside, let's mosh at the polls. no, seriously. throw dem bows and all that.
sentence of the week brought to you by the sage Asian-American pop music critic Jeff Chang:
And yo, go vote. Your enemies already did.
both the Steelers and Ghandi prove: the largest assemblages of uniform power can be toppled. either with padded grown men bumping into each other and grunting...or fasting.
whatever works.
just make sure it isn't this.
with all that said, Tuesday is either going to be a joyful day where I remember why I loved this country so much or yet another reason to sniff out escapism's new dresses in a glass of wine.
bottoms up.
because this is your president.
