I’m still on hiatus.
But in the meantime, it’s California election season, and I’ve been fairly disgusted with all of the negative campaigning that’s been going on in the gubernatorial race between Steve Westly and Phil Angelides. “Westly promised no negative campaigns!” “Angelides started it! And he’s corrupt!” “Westly is more corrupt!” “Angelides hosts MySpace orgies with thirteen-year-old girls!” “At least they’re girls!”
I’m so over it that it’s not even funny. Sure, I have my issues that are near and dear to my heart, but if someone asks me what political party I am, I just tell them I’m in the “Apathetic Asian.” Instead of a donkey or an elephant, our political mascot is a fucking report card littered with Straight A’s.
One political commercial that I HAVE taken notice of is John Chiang for State Controller. I have taken notice, of course, because the dude is Asian, and because his political commercials are totally awesome: John Chiang, talking to underage minority school children! John Chiang, looking at the scenic Marin headlines! John Chiang, slamming a law book SHUT! YEAH, SLAM that fucking law book shut, John Chiang!
