.you wonder.

I know I haven't been really talking about New York or the MTA because we are in the middle of a storm in this nation. I really think that. Every day is bringing something different and crazy and mostly I sit in front of the TV and ring my hands together. Here, at this blog, I don't want to be held down by those feeling, so I'll talk about the following....

I love crazy politicians. I L.O.V.E. them. Not crazy like Cheney where people's lives are at stake but people like Ron Blagojevich, Ronald Burris and Rahm Emanuel - essentially everyone from Illinois (like Ileana Ros-Lehtinen who hung up on Barack Obama because she thought it was a prank call - you go girl! Don't be taken like a Sarah Palin-fool). I am following this like a Philadelphian on the playoffs. I can't get enough of it. I think I might be addicted.

I love hearing about this Blagojevich guy - he's batshit crazy. He goes jogging when he's about to be impeached. He hired a lawyer who's defense is essentially, Stop it guys! You're being mean! He once said, "This is the kind of thing that I think frankly separates the men from the boys in leadership. Do you have the testicular virility to make a decision like that knowing what's coming your way? I say I do" to his father-in-law. Bahahaha.


Ronald Burris. I honestly don't know much about his politics other than what's on Wikipedia. He doesn't seem too crazy on the surface and probably no one outside politicians in Illinois had heard of him until a few weeks ago. But then that business of the Trail Blazer monument came into light and I haven't been able to stop hearing about him. As everyone knows now, he erected a monument to himself and his "accomplishments" in a Chicago cemetery. I'm sorry but first African American to attend an exchange program to the University of Hamburg just seems like filler. But the best part is that he essentially has charmed everyone in the US Senate into letting them keep his job. Brilliant.

And then there is my all time favorite. I mentioned Rahm Emanuel a couple posts ago because he's a pretty attractive guy but I honestly can't get enough of him. He's hella crazy and I absolutely love him for it. He won't stab you in the back, he'll stab you in the front and now he's going to be Chief-of-Staff - brilliant! He almost came to blows with his brothers about the movie the Deer Hunter (see the Charlie Rose interview with all 3 brothers - it's quite funny, they should be on more often). He's most infamous for stabbing a knife into a table and calling for all of Bill Clinton's enemies to be dead and also mailing a dead fish to a political rival. These aren't exaggerations - these are facts. This is why he is amazing. There's a whole site of these facts and they seem like those Chuck Norris facts, but they are 100% true. Brilliant! I mostly love him because, let's be honest, Democrats are like sad, skinny puppies who have been kicked and don't bark at anything and sometimes just hide under the sofa (I am so looking at you Harry Reid). The Republicans, although I'm not too fond of them (to say the fucking least), have nasty barks and can back it up with fierce bites. You gotta give them that. They know they're wrong and still fight to the death. Rahm Emanuel will kill you. He will bit your head off. Rahm-bo. Loves it.

So I loves me some crazy politicans (who don't blow up people for fun - have you read thisVanity Fair article? scary) . That is all.
