So, I was talkin to Tony and he asked if I saw the "Dean Scream." I had no idea what the hell he was talking about, so he sent me a clip of Howard Dean's speech from the other day after he came in third at the Iowa caucus. Apparently, this "scream" was real bad news for the guy, so I watched it to see what he did. I was expecting him to make a total ass of himself. The moment after I saw it I thought, "that's it?" Why are people making a big deal out of something so stupid? I admit, I don't know anything about the guy, but it seems to be he just got excited. People are labeling him some sort of psychopath. For one thing, I don't even see it as a scream. It was just an excited shout. It wasn't even that big! Tony, being the Republican that he is (not that I have anything against that), thought it was pretty funny and was glad that Dean ruined his image. Now, again, I say I don't know anything about Dean, so maybe he has a bad reputation, but I fail to see the importance of a god damn yell. Anyway, it looks like Howard Dean may be out of the running becaue people don't want a president that "leads with his heart." Whatever... from the looks of things he probably would've lost anyway. I mean, he came in third. I dunno... I can't get my head around politics and most of the time I don't want to.
*sigh* Why does my best friend have to be so interested in it? Tony talks, I listen, he's very hmm... what's the word?.. passionate when it comes to stuff like this. It's hard to disagree with him and his views, so I do sort of a "nod and smile" kind of thing. I ask questions, but don't really state opinions. I don't really care to nor do I wish to argue with him. Debating is his thing, not mine. Hm... the more I think about it, the more I realize we don't have all that much in common.
I can't figure out what is less newsworthy: Michael Jackson's trial, Briney Spears' marriage, Beniffer splitting up, or Howard Dean's ricockulous scream...
Come on, America, don't make me move to Japan.
