La Eleción

I will be extremely glad when the elections are over. Not because I particularly want to know the results. I'm fairly confident that they won't be to my liking, but such is politics. I know how to lose gracefully, and I haven't put my heart and soul into any campaigns like I did in '06. No, I want this elections to be over because I am so sick of hearing what Europeans think about American politics. They can't vote, so why would I care about what they think?

I've touched on this before, but everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY here has an opinion about US politics, and who they want to win the election. Which I understand, because hey, America is the best ever, but at the same time I don't, because I honestly don't give a crap about who becomes the new British PM, or whether Zapatero wins relection here in March. Americans have the reputation of being ego-centric...having lived abroad, my opinion is now: So what? If we are ego-centric, that's because the entire world cares so much about us. If the rest of the world wants us to think about ourselves less, then they should think about us less.

I don't even like talking about domestic politics at home because the majority of people are uneducated tard farmers who just go on hearsay and generalizations and treat them like facts. But foreigners who don't really understand the American political system are even worse. Yesterday I watched on the news some special about how hut-dwelling pgymies of Kenya (or whatever they are) like Obama. As if I give a rat's ass about the political leanings of hut-dwelling Kenyan pgymies. Or every Spanish cab driver that's driven me home at 3 in the morning...or every single person that I meet in a bar that finds out I'm an American. Let's repeat this. I. Don't. Care. If you can't vote, I couldn´t care less. Europeans seem to have the misconception that Americans want to hear their stupid opinions about our own elections...Sorry Europe, but you don't matter. Go play with your Euros and leave me the hell alone.

PS. African pgymies have recieved a shit ton of foreign aid from the Bush administration...they should take that free money and STFU.
