PoliticoMania
Tonight is WrestleMania, the premier annual event in professional wrestling. This is where the good guys (faces) and the bad guys (heels) get it on for the enjoyment of the millions of fans and wrestling true believers (marks).
What makes prowrestling so popular? It is the posturing and trash talking; the cartoonish nature of the faces and heels; the over-the-top solliloquies and dialogues that create in the fans anger and frustration (heat) or happiness and excitement (pops).
To paraphrase George Carlin, think about the average American...now remember that half of Americans are dumber and more gullible!
Some of our representatives in government have taken this to heart and are catering to the political marks, those people who believe in the cartoonish nature of politicians. These political posers are making their political opponents into heels and themselves into faces.
If you believe that George Bush is evil, that Haliburton is behind the Iraq war, that the republicans want to take away social security, that republicans are racist, and all the other trash talk that is dished out mainly by the democrats, then you are a political mark. The very politicians who you believe in are laughing at you for your simple gullibility.
PoliticoMania is election day. It is when you, the voter, can choose to make a decision based upon vision, purpose and actual plans for solving the problems that face us in the future, or can be led by the heat and pops that politicians dish out.
DocBrain is saddened by the gullibility of apparently intelligent people who mark out to the political heat and pops. It may be a good way to run prowrestling but not a country.
I do find it most interesting that young people are the most vocal about "Bush lied" type of heat and also make up the largest pro-wrestling demographic. Coincidence? I think not!
But if you would rather be led by heat and pops, here you go, just in time for Wrestlemania:
Republicans, read here:
Watcha goin' do, brotha, when the President of the US runs wild on you!
Democrats, read here:
To my millions (and millions) of fans, I am going to drop the people's elbow on the President and he will be counted out of office, 1---2---3. If you smell what we dems are cooking.
