Morning Audibles

ERLECTION DAY...

I'm not going to add any more words to the crap pile of of political punditry... The fact is, it seems all but impossible to EVER, seriously EVER change a person's poltical affiliation...

Now, new issues may rise to the surface, and politicians and their antics may come and go... But oftentimes, (in the end), a political affiliation ends THE INVIVIDUAL simply into a group of people that they share (or think they share) the same POV with...

It's very true that in groups of people, you ought not discuss politics & religion (if your main goal is to keep peace)...

Blogs are a unique subset of that idea because one could classify a blog as "a group", yet is is mostly either an anonymous group or virtual one... To be banned of exiled from one simply means you can find another one without much effort, or having to leave your seat...

Sometimes, a "marginalized" blogger may feel slighted, due to the fact that their OPINION that they desired to express ended up being muted, and not coming into full blossom (like that world record setting whopper fart of a lifetime that finally gets dealt just as a jet airplane passes overhead)...

In any case... Whether you're an "angry white person" (as I read teabaggers described in yesterdays thread), OR whether you're "angry Michele Obama" (who wasn't proud or happy with her country until she happened to get FLOTUS honors)... I'm sure there's a candidate for you an your bias...

Why not just vote for this guy? Here's his story... Sounds like the PERFECT candidate to me...

Jar Jar Binks is a fictional character from the Star Wars films The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith... His primary role was to provide comic relief...

Jar Jar Binks first appears in The Phantom Menace as a bumbling Gungan from the planet Naboo. After his tribe banishes him for his clumsiness, he is nearly killed by a federation transport, only to be saved at the last minute by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and his padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). The Jedi persuade Jar Jar's tribe to release him to their custody as a guide. He later goes with the Jedi and Queen Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman) to the planet Tatooine, where he meets and befriends Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd).

Jar Jar later appears in the film's climactic battle scene, where he joins his fellow Gungans in defeating the evil Trade Federation. For his heroics, he is made a general in the Gungan army, and Padmé gives him a ceremonial medal.

Jar Jar's role in Attack of the Clones is much smaller, but his actions are significant. Ten years after helping to save his planet, he is a delegate for the Galactic Senate, and as such plays a role in bringing his old friends Obi-Wan and Anakin (Hayden Christensen) back to Coruscant, where he greets them with enthusiasm. Later, on the behalf of Naboo and the Jedi, he gives a speech to the assembled Senate in favor of granting Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) vast emergency powers (and arguably starting the wheel that led to the Clone Wars, Galactic Empire, Galactic Civil War, and all the deaths therein.)
