Almost as entertaining as the Lakers vs. Boston game last night is this kindergarten romper room of a tug of war with Hillary Clinton supporters (on Huffington Post this morning, one of the forum posters called her “Borg Queen” which made me laugh out loud but not because I don’t like her - just cause I see her impact on her supporters and it is very fitting) with the Obama supporters (which are, on the same posting board, called Obamabots - not as funny but I could see how they tried to make it funny).

The very idea that there are a group of people who so believe in their Borg Queen that they would rather vote for a war loving, womb controlling, old peepaw over somebody who believes in change as passionately as their now out of the running candidate is baffling to me.

This election more than almost any in recent history is all about the supporters and not so much on the candidates. I think we all learned from that Revenge of the Nerd campaign of John Kerry’s last time. Too anxious to not be disappointed in someone revealing that they are not their public persona, we have decided like the Matrix, to be the system instead. I really can’t wait to see these televised debates later on as I’m really tihnking that the world might combust over the revelation that there really are just two human beings running against each other rather than some big Mad Max Aunty Entity type deal.

Like some Laker fans, Clinton supporters walk the line of hypocrisy (wait - most people do but it’s more relevant at this point I’m making). Only when a call is made that benefits them do they ignore its flaws. Case in point, last night’s game has Laker fans calling BS on all the ref calls however I don’t really remember this outrage during the San Antonio game when the league actually had to APOLOGIZE to San Antonio for making a bad call at the last few seconds since that now missing call would have probably had them win the game. Sometimes your wins will be the cause of your losses later on, kids.

All in all, I’d like to thank all of you activisits for bringing some umph to the whole thing (Laker fans and Borg Queen followers, this means you) because now I can eat popcorn while reading the news and at night while watching the game. My waistline is indebted to you.
