Beware Barack Obama!

SO a couple of nights ago I was re-watching one of my favourite shows in the world, and a scene just really struck me as very, very relevant to today's current issues.

A man had just been voted to premiership, and three people were sitting around a living room telly, talking about him. Slightly paraphrased:

"I was going to vote for him," said the girl.

"Oh really?" one of the men asked.

"Yeah, me too," the second man said.

"Why?"

"I don't know," the girl said, "But I liked him."

"Yeah. He was always good to hear," the second man agreed.

"I felt safe," said the girl, tapping her fingers on the cup she held.

And then The Doctor frowned, because he'd heard that drumming sound before Martha was tapping out on her cup before, and then Harold Saxon started talking on the telly, and their telly got blown up and they had to be on the run because they were suspected terrorists--

But I'm getting ahead of myself. :|

Because you know-- maybe the United Kingdom didn't work out much for The Master, but he's definitely set his eyes on America since then! And I can't believe no one's pointed it out before.

Yes, flist. Obama is The Master! I need an icon for that. Come on-- good orator, rose to prominence fairly recently (when did we *really* start hearing about Obama, hmm? *narrows eyes*), bewitches the world with his words...

Observe what he did to the world when he was in power (PS: What follows is spoilerific of Doctor Who 3x12):

I would worry if I were you, flist.

I would. *nods solemnly*




PS: You know I love you guys hardcore, but as I really didn't invest myself in this whole election as little more than a bemused and fascinated observer, I thought last night that the reactions to his speech were interesting (Transcript available here, btw, thanks to morganashkevron who posted it). Actually, the reactions to him are, in general.

PPS: I can totally start a Real-Life Quibbler-esque blog of crackpot conspiracy theories, y/n?

i know he was sort of a douchebag toward the end, but...

guys? The HP Lexicon is gone. D: Bring it back bring it back. *cries*

UPDATE: According to this comment it's just changing domains. Keep your fingers crossed!

mccain and palin, this time

Just in case you all thought my political posts were biased-- so I found out John McCain picked a woman to run as his vice president. (She is a woman who, according to ccharlotte, wants to take polar bears out of the endangered list so that we can drill for oil in their habitats. :|)

In marketing we talk about how people/companies/brands send out messages based on what they do. Instinctively, this is the message I got from McCain:

"O HAI AMERICA. I guess I don't look like I'll be changing anything in this country compared to Obama over there, but HERE ya go-- white female veep, so in case I croak in the next four years (and I probably will)-- you guys will STILL have your first non-white-male president!

"PS. I can has votes nao?"

Sorry for the spam today. :|
