Liberal
For years I have appeared dazed and confused when it comes to politics. For me it compares to Dimension-X. You never want to go there because it’s where evil Krang is found. Well, when I think of Krang, I see him in this tall walking machine that looks like Uncle Sam and he continually beats me over the head with a club that says “politics” on the end of it. You see… I come from a large family, and that’s grounds for a large family gathering. Lucky for me (not really), many of them have much to say about political issues. Every heated discussion I just listen and try to nod as though I might have something to say or relate to. What I am actually thinking is, “…damn, if only I read that subscription of TIME last week” or “ahhhhh! I knew I should have read those msn.com news highlights after I signed out of my hotmail account the other day!”
Of course in all of this confusion I still couldn’t tell you what political party does what or thinks that. I couldn’t tell you what leaders there are or where they came from, heck, I couldn’t even spell their name if I had to…judge Lance Ito, Alito whatever the heck that is! In all that frustration I wouldn’t place myself in any political view. I guess if there was a political view called LOST. I would hold that one. It’s how I feel, and it seems to be a decent TV show. I think I will stick to
that.

This morning I realized that LOST wasn’t very productive as a political view. Now I can proudly say that after a long and grueling research process I have committed to an actual political view, a view that is recognized by many. I was in the shower washing my hair and after I rinsed, I decided to read the directions for washing hair. It read “Apply a LIBERAL amount and massage into the scalp.” I DO that! Yeah, I do apply liberally! I am LIBERAL!!!

You heard it here first folks! Amy's liberal!! Woohoo!!
Hey Brian;
I really liked this blog! Your portrayals of personal experience and a sense of being lost during family discussion were very honest and admirable! Not everyone admits when they're confused but everyone gets confused during certain moments. This just shows you're confident and in touch with yourself! Your research puts you one step ahead of a lot of people! I really liked your Krang, Dimension X, Uncle Sam, politics comparison. It would be nice to know what kind of research you did!
Notes
Does that make Dick Cheney Krang and George Bush Shredder?
Don't worry Amy I won't tell anyone that you know from Texas that you're liberal!
John's happy LOL!
Ryan has some good insight here!
