It's Monday.
Yep.
Learned a new word this weekend. Phil used the term "sheeple" for how he feels about the people. You know, sheep + people = sheeple. Sad, passive, weak, followers. Sheeple. According to the Wiki P: "It is often used to denote persons who acquiesce to authority, and thus undermine their own human individuality." Nicely stated.
Also, I found out that Mark calls Jon-Sydnee "No Change" McCain the following: Pappy McCain. Ha-ha! Pappy! His kids all running around yelling, "Pappy McCain's on the TeeVee." Mark probably dislikes the people as much as I do. And the aforementioned, "Phil" may very likely have his membership accepted into this He-Man Sheeple Haters Club (showing my age with this reference). It's a growing club.
[And Tom Brady. Now, it's not nice to ever wish injury or any other ill upon someone, but when it happens...well.... There's just nothing you can do about it, right? Tom Brady. Mostly to watch the reaction of Brady's sheeple fans.]
It's not that I (and we) are bringing the hate. On the contrary, we absolutely love and adore those whom we know, understand, and have become close to. All the love in the world. But the people are mopes! Because the people are lazy and coddled and filled with their things, they have grown to be fairly dumb. And, in reactance to their self-inflicted and self-fulfilling predicaments, they look upon the intelligent and the ambitious and the thoughtful among us as, "Elitists" whom need to be taken down a peg or two so they get to know what "real" people experience. It's the opposite of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. It's more dragging the better among us down with fleshy, bacon-scented ballast. It's an active bar-lowering.
From Salon Article, "Confessions of an RNC Security Guard," made me think of both sheeple and of Pappy:
"I'm a real McCain guy. I served. But I liked the old McCain -- when he was a true hero, before he signed on with the yahoos. I actually believe in 'country first.'"
"If I were McCain I'd probably bring [Palin] onto my ticket, too. That's exactly the problem. I guess I tricked myself into thinking that McCain, even after he watered himself down for the election, could somehow restore sanity. The Democrats tried to paint him as a twin of Bush. Not true. But Palin ... she does remind me of Bush. McCain has made a devil's pact and sealed this party's fate."
Even though he's older, he smokes his cigarette like a young man, with earnest haste, before he flicks it off into the dark.
"That's it," he said, "we're through. Even if we win, we've lost."
