of monkeys and politics
A couple of things I want to get off my chest. Well, more than a couple of things, to be honest. I’ve been thinking a lot about monkeys of late. I know, I know, mantids first, now monkeys – I seem to have a theme running here. But technically, I didn’t really talk about mantids in the first blog, so its not Really a theme.
Anyway, monkeys, after humans, are the most intelligent beings on this planet. Well, maybe I shouldn’t say that. Humans are technologically advanced, but I’m not sure we’re intelligent AT all. I mean, just look at America. 120 MILLION voters (human, most of them, surely) helped re-elect a Monkey to the post of The Most Powerful Man in the Universe. I’m sure even HE can’t believe his luck. After four years of war-mongering (against nations that have less money than Wyoming), tax cuts (to the rich and powerful), lying (to everyone but his wife), drug abuse (not really, but its fun to say it) and Errors in pronunciation and grammar, the people still love him! Well, 53 million of them do, anyway. Although I suspect they voted for him because he’s a lot funnier than Kerry. And we all love our comedians, don’t we? Humbug.
Ironically, if the power to vote in America had been given to monkeys (don’t put it past them, ANYthing’s possible in America), Kerry would have won. Not sure what this says about his mass appeal, but hey, at least monkeys are more intelligent than humans (except for Bush, who has all the intelligence of a pizza), as America proved yesterday. I know, I know… I’ve just contradicted myself, but we all have our vices.
Oh, and if any of the people reading this are Bush supporters, I’m sorry, but please check yourselves into the nearest mental institution. Or the White House. We don’t live in a concrete jungle anymore... it’s more like a Human Zoo. Hang on, hang on… Ah! Catharsis.
Coming Soon: How to distinguish a Donkey from an Ass, and other useful tips better living.

Its sort of... Apt, isn’t it?
