I'mma do the things that I wanna do -- Pork and Beans, Weezer

---

While browsing along the web one day, I ran across this Frenchman's Blog. At least, I think he's French. At any rate, I believe he lives in Cannes and speaks English wonderfully. Or at least types it. His name is Marisacat, and I insist everyone to read his stuff -- it's uplifting and eye-opening all in the same. The point of this is to say, well, that is one of the points, but this is another: while reading through the back-commentary of one of his most recent posts, I discovered a rather disgruntled American individual e-named Madman in the Marketplace. I, for some reason, am inexorably drawn toward his rants concerning the every deteriorating (though already quite thoroughly tainted) State of the Union.

While I'm not quite sure how I feel about these particular subjects, I quite enjoy getting the chance to see an opposite opinion from inside the country paired with an outside one. While the latter, Marisacat, does a wonderful job at discussing politics and life from a more broader spectrum, the author does take time to point out what is going on in our country, as our Imperialist hands have wriggled their fat, little fingers into most everyone's honey pots. Here is an example of what has been said about the Presidential Races:



Enjoyable.

As for Madman, I've taken it upon myself to write him a letter in E-mail, but he has not yet responded, which is fine, though I wish to hear his opinion on what I've written. The message was spurred when I read his comment on this entry from Marisacat's concerning Democrats, voters and the 2008 elections, and a chair in the shape of a pony. The comment he left, however, was not related in almost any way save disgruntled populace routinely filed away under Opinions in the form of an Editorial. I'd quote what Frank Rich said, but Madman in the Marketplace already gave him the credit (third or fourth comment), and I somewhat deplore redundancy. So, until such action is returned, I take my time and leave to learn about this day in History, for the Montgolfier Brothers and air balloons.
