Slight of hand.

Most days I wake up, drink some coffee, spam my blog's url on twitter and facebook, check the weather, 2nd round of coffee, spam again, and finally shower.  Except today.  This article http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2010/01/palin-signs-on-with-fox-news.html was on my news feed via facebook from one of my friends.  Talk about devastation.  What has Fox come to?  Apparently fox is trying to really reach out more to the um..... white demographic here in our wonderful country.  Tonight's starting line up........ middle aged white people who are slightly coded racists! WEEE!  I'm totally speechless.  Just kidding, I haven't read her book yet but I heard... oh wait I forgot YOU CAN'T READ COLORING BOOKS!  Fuck our media culture; I would never leap at the chance to exploit honest Americans with my assertive good looks and flashy up do's.  Seriously, what is she going to talk about?  She's so confused about politics she married a democrat that recreates like a republican.  You know they say marriage is about compromise.....  "OK Todd, you can invite our Inuit neighbors over for dinner but the second they leave you better jump on your snowmobile and wash that stink of whale blubber off you with exhaust fumes!"  I've got a great idea.  Lets tie Mrs. Palin and Glen Beck together and send em' over Ole' Niagra just to make sure they didn't sell their souls to the devil.  If they survive then they will have truly earned my trust.    CANADA OR BUST 10'

SLIGHT OF HAND

Curious strings.
Floating Masquerade.
All is slight of hand.

A wooden boy with painted smile,
No other option to explore.
A soul wouldn't make the difference.

These physics are exaggerated
And contrived.

Understanding in a finger.
That meant everything to me.
