None of the above

Yep, a t-shirt for me.

Anyway, I caught the tail-end of BBCAmerica’s obsessive coverage of “Super Tuesday” last night, and listened to a few minutes of Obama’s speech. He has a good voice, but what I heard — vague stuff about “change,” something about how we need to help kids playing next to a boarded-up apartment building (which just made me think they were waiting for their meth to finish cooking), and a slogan consisting of the empty phrase “Yes we can!” (which the hopped-up crowd chanted enthusiastically) reminded me nothing so much as the Doctor’s sensible questions to Martha Jones and Captain Jack Harkness on why they thought the Master’s hypnosis-enhanced campaign for Prime Minister of Britain sounded so good: “What were his policies? What did he stand for?” After all this time Obama’s appeal is more elusive to me than the flimsy plot of science fiction story.

Or… is John McCain really the Master? Check it out:

McCain!

The Master:

If he whips out what looks like a pen, duck.

    Andrea, what do you think of the people who say they’ll vote for Hillary over McCain thinking that letting the country be screwed up by Dems for a couple years is better than being screwed by Repubs? Does this make sense to you?

    I believe McCain may be no better than a Dem in many ways (with the exception of the GWOT), but I have to say Hillary will never get my vote. She & Bill in the WH again gives me a bad case of ‘oh, yuck.’ I’d have to do what I did the first time around, & switch my tv to all sports or all DIY.

    Is it possible Obama would be the lesser of the Evils, since he doesn’t have the power machine Billary does?

    Nothing about politics makes sense to me.

    It kinda worries me that sometimes I think it makes sense…but it seems a rather harmless delusion at this point, so I don’t let it get me down. I’m 2 for 2 in this particular cycle, so it looks like ESPN2, here I come!
