I was Fired from the Company Charged With Slandering Romney

Filed under: Politics — Dallin

There are two places that’ll readily employ sixteen-year-olds in Orem, UT: McDonalds and Western Watts. Today, my former employer is charged by both the Romney and McCain Campaigns of Momon Bigotry. You may be surprised this could happen. I’m not.

It was the first job of my life. My friend JD had been employed for a few months and mentioned how mindlessly easy it was. If you can read a script on a screen, you’re hired (so I barley passed).

My job was to call Jiffy Lube customers and conduct a survey asking them to rate their experience. The supervisors were always listening in on your conversation; if you strayed from the script they had an interrogation room with a table and a tape recorder, just like 24. They’d play your conversation back to you, and say something painfully obvious like, “Is that you?” There is no habeas corpus for Western Watts employees.

I’m kidding. It actually wasn’t that bad of a job for someone who doesn’t want to use their brain. I’m sure when they make robots just a bit smarter Western Watts will clean out their teenage sweat shops.

The point is I’m not surprised Western Watts had the drone army in place capable of what McCain calls “outrageous and cowardly telephone calls.” Luckily, I’m free of their witchcraft, mostly because my lifestyle demanded more than minimum wage.

I agree with the fury of the Romney and McCain. Believe me, Western Watts may be capable of following sick orders, but this DID NOT originate from them. They were paid well. The question is…

WHO DID IT?

One thing is confirmed, the script that Western Watt’s zombies were reading is Evangelical “anti” doctrine. Like every religion, there are strengths and weaknesses. The weakness of the Evangelical movement is the idea that every church that is not Evangelical is a ‘cult’, ‘herecy’ or ‘sect.’ Not just Mormons.

Let’s not point fingers, because that could be a decoy. Giuliani was recently endorsed by none other than the Evangelical Superstar Pat Robertson, but there are a host of republican candidates desperate to gain some ground in this caucus-king-of-the-hill. I personally believe that OJ Simpson is trying to distract attention from his second high profile case, and he coerced Western Watts executives.

Democrats in Sin City: The Vegas Debate

Filed under: Politics — Dallin

I’ve read the entire transcript for yesterday’s democratic debate before I read any commentary, and before I wrote this post.

Let me just be clear on my political stance. The one good thing George Bush has done for me is to become interested in politics. So far, Ron Paul stands closest to what I’d want as president. But a democrat is likely to win this election (I think this site predicts elections best), and I want to make sure that the democrat who wins will make the changes this country needs so that I can go back to enjoying my mornings without having to read through long political debates.

Clinton did much better in this debate, she even made me chuckle poking fun at her gender, “You know, as Harry Truman famously said, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.” And I feel very comfortable in the kitchen.”

But even so, I think Barak would make a better president, and I’ll tell you why. He always gives straight answers (although he slipped up yesterday on the illegal immigrants having drivers licenses), and then explains those answers with the wisdom which 10 years of teaching law grants. He doesn’t attack Clinton like the pretty boy John Edwards, he simply says, “I know I will be better. And that is why I am running.”

Barak also – even though he’s taken a lot of heat for it – maintains his policy of meeting with our enemies in person. When I fantasize what I’ll be doing when I’m President, I’m always in our enemy’s country giving a speech – in their language (I’m multilingual in my fantasies) – where I make everyone cheer. Then I shake hands with Ahmadinejad, or Chavez, or Bashar al-Assad, or Hitler, and we’re all friends again. So Barak and I share the same castle in the sky.

That said, it still looks like if the election were tomorrow, Hillary would win by a landslide. I’m really not as polarized to her as most people are. She seems quite educated (she is) and composed. I believe she’ll do better than Bush, so I wouldn’t complain if she won. But there is still a year left, so let’s see if Obama can’t gain more ground.
