WOW!!! Thanx for the comments, all 3 of you (it seemed like so many many more)!! Check the previous post for some top comments -including a quite legendary reply from yours truly!
But here's something that came to mind: why indeed hasn't John Waters run for president? Isn't he actually what we all want to be? Or is that just me? He lives out his twisted fantasies by having someone else act them out on film for all to see, & he can just sit back & stay clean? And in the end the common man love those fantasies & make him a multi-millionaire!! I mean, if someone's gonna manipulate me, it might as well be him. Imagine, living in a world filled with depraved lunatics & obese drag queens. Gee, how I miss going to see his work in grimy art houses half-full of questionable reprobates. The good old days.
Recently at a DC insider cocktail party it was suggested that the Democrats would be happy with the likes of Rip Taylor for president. What was really meant by that statement is that the Dems would take any fruity ol' pisser because that is their wont. Nothing could be further from the truth, I say! Rip is old & boring, and we've already had that. Plus he's messy, what with that confetti all over the place. And he's just not funny. An unfunny queen? Breeder, please. But if he's part of a nine-member cast of leaders who sit three-by-three in a box trimmed in flashing lights, we'd take him in a heartbeat. Considering the Pushing Daisies guy brings Paul Linde back, too.
Look, we gotta crawl before we walk. This election has gotten more people talking about (and acting as if they care about) this country than any time since Woodstock (the one without arson). Even though their reasons may be superficial, and they may just be extremely lucky that the guy they're (probably) backing is (probably) the best guy in recent years who's gonna step up & go for the job, at least we're (probably) not talking about Miley Cyrus or Lezbey Lohan. Let's all just pray this thing goes well because we MUST bring an end to this right-wing, bible-based, fear-nurturing regime. It (probably) WON'T stop under McCain.
ONE MO' THING: I usually never recommend anything from Rolling Stone (what a total piece of crap), but their cover story on the early days of John McCain is quite entertaining, although at times it seems like they wanted to shock but just pulled an "aw". His early days sound like another assholes. His latter days can't be much different. Use the link to read it online.
Now, go rent The John Waters Collection. It's no "Bonzo" anthology, but then what is?

hurrah for cheesy mustaches!
p.s. i met rip taylor in las vegas eons ago while angie, deno and i were having breakfast in debbie reynolds' teeny casino. (long gone)
he wanted to know what we were eating...
he was confetti free.
You should have thrown grits on him and shouted:
"Way-hay-hay-hay" or somesuch.
Well, we both voted for Obama Monday. Florida - and about half the nation - has early no-excuse voting). I know Michigan doesn't have it(what a surprise). Ten minutes in and out.
I think Obama is light years ahead of McCain in terms of "going with the flow" (instead of sticking with the tired-and-true things that don't work). But for me, it really comes down to ending tricle-down-vodoo-economics.
I don't like some of the things Obama has supported and believes, but that is all good. And I certainly don't see him as the lefty second coming (insert white guilt here), but he is the most articulate and (more importantly) centrist of the two, and we certainly are too far right in the US in my not-so-humble humble opinion so a shift left a bit is in order - that's a bit.
I actually think he'll do well, because he seems to actually listen to people who know what they're talking about - something Clinton did, and something the current monarch doesn't do very well.
But both sides are yeat again so full of it - boiling down huge problems into teeny sound bite lines and promising THEY will fix it (how will THEY do it - I never hear that part).
But we do need to start ...
