At least it's more exciting than in Canada...

Sure, we have our problems and issues in Canadian politics. Elizabeth May should be included in the leaders' debates whenever the next election is called; the cloak-and-dagger Harper government is becoming a bit to scary for even my middle-of-the-road "don't automatically hate the Conservatives" self; and the prominence of indifference amongst Canadians to our political process is quite worrisome. But overall, politics in Canada is pretty boring, especially when compared to what goes on south of the border.

I was reading a blog post on the ol' internet detailing/discussing U.S. Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton's recent lies about her trip to Bosnia in early 1996, and how this time she was caught in her lies (seriously, I hope she gets caught more often, because I honestly do not trust a thing she says or does).

Anyway, in the comments, I found a couple that were both hilarious and scary. It's downright scary that people could think this way in 2008 (the second commenter, anyway), but it also made me chuckle. The first guy apparently just believes everything he reads on alternative/conspiracy websites, while the second guy is an out-and-out racist claiming he's just being politically incorrect. While these thoughts are scary, their combined grammar and spelling skills are comedy gold, and prove how seriously their opinions should be taken.

Here's an exerpt from the most insane one...
Blacks have been pushing Back for way too long. For a while it was understandable...

When GEORGE WASHINGTON Had the White House Built, it was for an AMERICAN PRESIDENT….

A WHITE AMERICAN PRESIDENT.

If an AFRICAN-AMERICAN wants to be President tell them to go back and run for President in AFRICA !
