Never forget: We are the majority

While eating my gyro last night, was reading an article in the SF Chronicle about the new fad of silicone bracelets. In case you've been hiding in an Afghani Cave for the past 100 Sabbaths or so, it all started with Lance Armstrong's yellow "live strong" bracelets (i think that's what they were called).

(TJ: nevermind that LA is a cock because he's married to Sheryl Crow)

Some stupid little Can't Understand Normal Thinking of a Bay Aryan high schooler is making bracelets that say "51% IS NOT A MANDATE".

Here you go, ya bums. I found the article for you... snippet below, because i know you don't read these things even after people go through the trouble of finding them for you

Politics that you wear on your wrist

Oakland sixth-grader Natasha Berk recognized the power of the bands to send a message but didn't have time to have them produced in silicone before Thursday's presidential inauguration.

She got together with her friends and they made their own from elastic bands, which proclaim "51% Is Not A Mandate!" written with silver Sharpies.

The bracelets sell for $1 each, and so far the group has sold about 130 of them. Natasha, a student at Park Day School, plans to donate all proceeds to UNICEF to aid organizations involved in tsunami relief.

"Everybody has them, and they're so popular and this was a way to show there are lots of people who don't like Bush," she said.

You would think that I might have reservations about calling a sixth grader a C.U.N.T. I don't. Much like how Bush won, Get Over It.

Anycrap, Stupid Little Girl, 51% is very much so a Mandate. You know what definitely isn't a mandate? Would you say that garnering less than 50% isn't a mandate? What about 49.24% in 1996 and 43.0% 1992? Yeah those are pretty non-mandate-tastic, huh? I wonder whoever could have done that...

I found the website for Count Me Red. They're backordered 3-5 weeks it looks like. If somebody can find me a red bracelet that says "FUCK BLUE AMERICA" or "MANDATE, MOTHERFUCKERS, MANDATE" i would be much obliged. In fact, that would be a good thing to sell here at the SHoP, but i kinda doubt SixH would go for it.

OK so my point is: Bill Clinton never had the majority of voters, and as such neither did he have the presidential mandate. Never forget that for the next four years, we do. Never thought this day would come, but we are America, we are where it's at. Don't get discouraged by sixth graders who get mentioned in a san fran-fucking-cisco newspaper. BFD. She's just a PETA internship away from communism anyway. And that means she won't shave her legs and pits. Screw that. Figuratively, i mean.

You know what's a better mandate? 232 seats out of 435 in the House, 55 out of 100 in the Senate. Do the math, hippies.

Get Bent,

ps- and before i forget (realized this right at "Bay Aryan high schooler"), Fuck You microsoft you dumb posing bastards. You know what's a good idea because it's efficient? Command-N to open a new window and Command-W to close a window. You know what has become a good idea because your Wintel lemmings don't know any better? Control-N to open a new window and ALT-F4 to close a window. Fucking idiots, all of you.
