Robert Downey Jr. says, “I’m an idiot”

Ok, so he really didn’t say that, but he did diss The Dark Knight in an interview for being “too smart” and over his head. He even said, “I felt like I needed a college education to understand it.” I am sorry, but it is idiots like Downey Jr. that make Hollywood the moron filled wasteland that it is today. It is the people that can’t think out of a paper bag, or understand literature (or even analyize anything for that matter) that make stupid, no thought movies. I mean, I learned how to analyze a work of literature in high school, I didn’t need a college education for that. Plus, who cares if you needed a college education? Maybe you should take a hint and actually start enhancing your brain power beyond, “I like booze”. Seriously, Downey Jr. I liked Ironman and thought you did a good job, but your comments just make me really sad. Dude, go to a library and read a book. It’s free. Seriously, try it.

A Commi Parade

…Or more like a riot. I stumbled upon a blog which showed recent photos of protests in Denver. I had to blog about it because it was pretty insane. The Commi’s have come to town!

Obama Popularity A Mixed Bag

A phenomneon like Obama-mania hasn’t happened since JKF, and now with the capability of the internet and technology, it spreads even faster. However, for all the people that are extremely ecstatic about Barack Obama, there are just as many people who aren’t. The polls since even before Obama got the nomination have shown that many voters are wary of Obama. In fact, there are a lot of people out there that can’t stand the guy, nor would trust him to be the President.

With this being a clear and present danger to the Obama campaign, the Democrats and Obama are scrambling to turn that around. I think they are all shocked at how close the polls are, especially with so many factors that should be used in their favor. Everyone is making excuses, especially as if McCain is just getting lucky. But, I have a good theory to why things are not a sure thing for the Democrats and Obama.

Listen very carefully: THE NATION IS DIVIDED.

Never since the Civil War has the nation been so divided on polarizing issues. Abortion, Homosexual Marriage, Universal Healthcare, and Foreign Policy are just a few of the hardcore issues that both Democrats and Republicans are not willing to be swayed on. This makes it difficult for anyone to come to a bipartisan common ground, which means that one side is going to get their way eventually. That power struggle is what we are seeing right now in the polls. It is what we saw with how close the elections were with Bush and Gore and Bush and Kerry. Somehow, I think the Democrats are underestimating the resolve that hardcore Republicans have toward these issues. They aren’t just going to say “mercy” and let go. This means that this election is going to be just as close as it was in 2000 and 2004.

With that said, do not be surprised if either of the candidates barely squeak by in this election. Until one side gains an overwhelming majority (which won’t happen), this nation will be divided for a long time and political struggle like this will be a constant.
