So, Rick Santorum is against anything having to do with homosexuality. Okay, so he’s not trying to win the liberal vote anyway.

So, Rick Santorum is against female contraceptives being subsidized by the insurance companies that pay him millions of dollars. Okay, so Republicans think women will be staying in the laundry room on election day.

So, Rick Santorum wants to make pornography illegal…

What the?! Isn’t he trying to WIN some votes?? He’s lost women and gay people; which vote is he counting on?? Old men who can’t get it up anymore? Oh wait, he’s fine with subsidizing MALE sexual…enhancement…

Wait, well then he lost the ‘old men who can’t get it up’ vote…

See, I know that most of what Presidents claim they will do, they can’t. But seeing that the Republicans seem hell-bent on electing men whose sole intentions seem to be war and killing gays and making women into Bella Swans, I’d much rather have the lesser of three evils. At least we know President Obama won’t do anything xD Incompetence beats evil every time.

Oh god, how long have Europeans been laughing at us?

Happy Presidents Day! A reminder of how, instead of TWO days, we only get one day off from school xD

Thomas Jefferson has been a life-long hero of mine. I have seen so much of myself in how he acted and behaved, how his personality went along and his mannerisms. He hated confrontation, even against John Adams, and he held an unrequited love for his wife for yeeeears before finally asking her to marry him in perhaps the greatest American love story. When she died, he never remarried (although he most likely had a sexual relationship with one of his slaves).

Cultured, Jefferson spent his time as Secretary of State in France, living in the high society. He was a great writer, his greatest and most well known work being, of course, the Declaration of Independence. He constructed his home, the Monticello, and designed it to his liking. As governor of Virginia, he fled as the British invaded. This in turn affected Jefferson’s foreign policy as President and he started America’s first war as its own country, attacking the Barbary Pirates.

Thomas Jefferson dies on July 4th, exactly fifty years after his own document was ‘signed’. It is said that he held on to his life for weeks before finally allowing himself to die on that date. Interestingly enough, his long time rival, John Adams, died on the exact same day, July 4th.

I’m guessing that was him succeeding to Jefferson’s superiority xD

Hmm…President Romney. I guess it sort of has a ring to it. At least it’s better than President Gringrich.

Gringrich?

Grinrich?

Gingrich?

Greenich?

Greengrinch?

I don’t know…

As a historian, I enjoy trying to figure out how our future generations will look back at this time in U.S. history. I was reading an article on my my.yahoo page (the only news I ever read) about the upcoming election…next year.

I can’t wait to go to my kid’s school when they recite the presidents! “Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Gringrich…”

Oh god; that last one would REALLY throw off the whole (nonexistant) rhythm of the presidents, especially since ‘Obama’ has the first ‘B’ since Buchanan already; we’d have TWO odd names in a row.

See? This is the crap I think about every day…
