In TWIGI we trust: Our Growing Twigiocracy
Welcome back to TWIGI, the blog that exposes how The World Is Going Insane!
A plethora of articles in recent papers provide details about Political Primaries that will leave you feeling peckish or even perturbed. I'm here to tell you that these Presidential Primaries are twigi!
Many people are discontented with the United States's political process, but I'm not going to talk to you about the two-party system (which is twigi because it's the voters that keep the two-party system going because they won't give other parties a chance). or voting machines, or how he who raises the most money has the better chance of winning, or any of that. I'm here to talk to you about how political hopefuls behave leading up to and during the primaries...
Like petulent primadonnas!
Why do we tolerate politicians who spend more time bad mouthing and dragging down their opponents (who are in the same party no less!) and less time explaining why they are qualified for the position and what they plan to do if they get elected? Instead it's "He's a waffler!", "She's a hypocrit!" "He might be a member of the Democratic Party, but if you look at his record, it shows he's a Republican in sheep's clothing!" blah blah...I don't want to hear your opinions about the other person. I want to hear about YOU!
Imagine if job interviews were like Presidential Primaries:
"Mr. Twigi, why should this company hire you?"
"Well, the last guy you interviewed...his tie clashed...I mean, wow, you know. Is he colorblind? Not to be insensitive, but clearly, if he's colorblind, he should have done something to compensate so he wouldn't wear clothes that didn't match rather than ignoring the problem. I don't think this company wants someone who will just ignore a weakness, but someone who will address it and find a solution. I'm that guy!
Also, he lives in a room over his mother's garage. Fear of independence. You won't find the next hot CEO with a guy living with his mom.
And his sister's a lesbian. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but how can he support family values with a lesbian sister?
And another thing..."
No facts about the applicant...just "the other guy". Before I continue, please note I bare no ill will towards the homosexual community. I just wanted to illustrate how politicians will use anything against an opponent and we've had people's relatives' sexual orientation called out in public against them.
In four years, if a candidate can step forward and focus his campaign on himself or herself rather than the faults of his opponents, unless he supports something crazy like Free Cellphones for the Homeless, then there's a great chance I'll vote for him simply because of his classy campaign.
Speaking of cellphones...Here's a twigi bit of society. It seems that at concerts, audiences have begun replacing the lighters held up in appreciation with...cellphones? C'mon! That's just ridiculous. That's twigi! Please dial the number of the reason it's twigi now...
*beep* 1) The first line of the linked article above says we should blame anti-smoking laws...um, no. See, holding a lit lighter up is NOT smoking...It's holding a lighter up.
*beep* 2) It talks about audience members desire to contact friends in the middle of a concert. So rather than enjoying the concert, you're taking yourself out the experience of a live performance to talk long distance with someone you speak with nearly everyday to tell him what you are seeing? Lame! And that doesn't explain the need to hold the things up like lighters.
*beep* 3) Lighters making very little noise...Cellphones do not. They beep and chirp and make their own music, and how distracting would it be to be rocking out to one song and hear somebody else's song coming from a cellphone? Rude!
*beep* 4) Cellphones are used, many times, for emergencies. So it's after the concert and you're on the way home and your car's fuel line bursts. You're stranded. You reach for your cellphone to call for assistance and...It's dead, because you've had the thing on and open and been using it at the concert. Sucker!
Come back in another week for more twiginess...Same TWIGI time, Same TWIGI channel...
