Unsettling News, Uncomfortable Opinion

UndrNws Returns With Confusing Rant About Physics!!

Undecisions:

499 words hitting on topics like ObamaGirl, Swing Vote, Valence Electrons, NaCl and KCl salts while not exactly proving anything to anyone.

As many have noticed by now, the current election season was never about them. It was never about how much Obamagirl loves Obama or how much white people would love McCain… Except…no… maybe it was only about Obamagirl, but those 15 minutes of fame and the meager career prospects she can squeeze out of that fame are her only consolation.

No one has ever cared about any real voters. And this is clear. This is life. This is America, and we have an electorate.

Sometimes Hollywood movies really do get it right. No, I’m not talking about Election, I’m talking about Swing Vote. That poor Kevin Cosner vehicle which never really flew as high as people would have liked (although hopefully for the cast and the message it’ll get some rental exposure before the actual election). For those unfamiliar or oblivious, the premise of Swing Vote is that somewhere, in some state, during some election, all of the voting machines got screwed up (in a vital swing state), and essentially the vote for the next president of the US came down to one man. Obviously, both candidates, the media and the rest of the train had to come pander to the sensibilities of Kevin Cosner and his less-oblivious daughter. I have no idea what happens in the movie, I don’t really wish to watch it.

My petit argument is that as soon as a voter chooses a candidate (and of course, as soon as a voter finds himself in a deep-blue or deep-red state), their vote is no longer relevant as an individual, since a whole horde of the unenlightened will still vote, and the candidate of the party historically supported by the state will take those points.

Segue to physics…in 5…4..3….

Have you ever noticed that you have never settled anything in a dispute of politics besides finding out who’s voice is the loudest? Of course you haven’t. Your energy levels are already settled on a candidate. Let’s call you and your liberal friends iron. You see, its very difficult for iron to change what it is….and also pretty difficult for iron to bond to anything, and when you’re trying to get a chemical reaction, iron is pretty much absolutely useless. So if you have a candidate in mind already, just go ahead and sit back down, because you’re no longer necessary, not for the candidate and not for the innocent bystanders who overhear your arguments. You’re part of the cake now, and the candidature is more concerned with the icing. Or, as we shall find out in the next paragraph, you are meat, and they just want a little bit of salt on it..

Now, think of Mr. Obama as Sodium, and Mr. …oh… McCain as Potassium. The undecided voter is Chlorine. Both of the candidates have one valence electron, and Chlorine has seven. Chlorine needs a candidate to fill in its last valence vacancy…its undecided. Which way is it going to go? You see, stubborn iron… no one much cares about you anymore. The alkali metals aren’t prancing around you my friend, all they want to do is to beat each other to that poor undecided voter and sprinkle that salt on the huge piece of read (or bleu) meat (Get it? Iron?) they already have.
