It's on Amerika's Tortured Brow

[nfotxn]

I miss the America that didn't care about voting. This new revitalized jingoistic ra-ra USA! USA! America isn't as cool as the old unconcerned one.

Come back cool America!

I miss the Friendly Upspeaking Canada that cared more about hockey than international affairs.

Yeah. The good ol' years.

I miss...

The Canada that just ate Poutin and listened to Bryan Adams.

Fortunately you're in luck as Quebec has stayed the same.

Quebec is the Stephen King of Provinces...

"I'm leaving! I'm mean it... just try and stop me... I am out the door... retiring... don't try to prevent it..."

"No, really... I'm leaving..."

"Going... I'm opening the door..." *mutter*

Quebec has always been the sensitive one.

Hey, with a little bit of Canada's (or should I say BC's?) we'll all be sitting around having a good old time and munching pizza, bud. Why vote when you can pack another bowl?

[nfotxn.livejournal.com]

Stop saying the v-word. You're totally harshing my mellow.

Despite the cheese, I am quite happy to see Americans interested in taking part in the democratic process.

That's because you're not cool!!†

† denotes sarcasm

[bremo.livejournal.com]

I was never cool, but hey, cool is way over rated anyhow. :P

[nfotxn.livejournal.com]

See last comment ;)

[bremo.livejournal.com]

hehehe. I know this kills my previous comment but thanks for calling me cool. :P

Unrelated topic. Are those pics of Jupiter on your wall?

Now if you're discussing Election Day and Florida....

Florida: a beautiful place to travel, a horrible place to vote...

[nfotxn.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I think florida just sucks in general. If I want sun I'll go to Cuba.

[arktosaegis.livejournal.com]

Hey man, florida is cool. We have huge flying insects, old people, and Mickey Mouse. What more could you want?

[nfotxn.livejournal.com]

A working democratic system?

Thank you, I'll be here all night! Tip your waitstaff.

[arktosaegis.livejournal.com]

The problem isn't so much the system as idiots that can't read a simple ballot ;)

[nfotxn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. I'm just being difficult ;)

[bremo.livejournal.com]

When they let people vote anyhow. :(

Oh yeah, that Vision thing.

Whoa there! I think it's great that America's decided it needs strong decisive leadership to weather these tough times. If I was an American citizen I'd be all fired up too. Of course, like everyone my age, I wouldn't know how to recognize strong decisive leadership since I've never seen it, but hey, that doesn't mean I can't get all excited about democracy. Uninspired leadership is what keeps Canada strong. America will be just fine.
