There are two things I generally do not talk about with most people: religion and politics. Those two things are two of the most divisive topics anyone could think of, and have led to wars, death, famine, injustice and a whole host of other crimes, both minor and major. But sometimes, every once in a while, politics surprise me.
[Imagine movie announcer voice] In a world where people paid exorbitant taxes on homes valued at 10 to 50 times what they should be, the people cried out. In a world where anything can happen, it did. In a world where one actor became governor and later President, and another actor went from Terminating to Legislating, political battles became the stuff of legend. [end movie announcer voiceover]
I've watched California Politics with almost a sense of awe and non-belief. First, having a bit of a crush on Georgy Russell a cute, plucky girl who ran for Governor and lost to Schwarzenegger, and watching during that same election a Carly Fiorina is taking a run at Barbara Boxer's seat in Congress. And she's brought with her sarcasm, wit, and downright insanity.
To start, lets consider this, advertisement:
It's just weird, until you hit about the 2:15 mark... then it takes a dive off the deep end. As if the thinly veiled comparison of politicians to sheep wasn't enough, well... I won't spoil it for you. Just remember, it REALLY steps off into Bizarro World at about the 2:15 mark or so.
And now, this... The Attack of Barbara Boxer's Giant Inflatable Head of Doom!
Words do not do this justice. It's at once horrifying, and absolutely brilliant. It's just so odd that I have a hard time accepting it's even real... but real it is, and it's genius. Evil Genius, but genius none the less. Also, it's long, but after it settles down a bit, it picks up a little again at about the 5 minute mark or so. Be sure to watch for the giant hand.
So, California. Politics. California Politics. Always a surreal world that blends the worst of Hollywood with the worst of Politics and adds in a twist of just strange. California, and Carly, you've exceeded expectations! Congratulations!
