Out of it…
With all that’s going on politically in Bermuda, I’m feeling completely inundated with bad news and completely out of my depth. For years I’ve tried talking, learning, hoping to figure out solutions and to work on myself as a person and a citizen of this country.
The latest… well, shenanigans is the only word to use… have me feeling completely frustrated and useless.
I don’t know what to do, what to say, how to help…
So prepare yourself, my dears, for a flood of pseudo-narcissistic, all about me, strips. Granted, that’s what this is usually about, but I do occasionally try to throw in a little political stuff, or at least topical.
Until something happens… something that actually makes sense to me, I can’t even to begin to figure out where to go, what to do.
The press secretary came out and said that a white woman, and thus white people in general, have a genetic predisposition to oppose a political party.
That’s right. He basically said that our genes define our political affiliation.
If this is true, why bother with platforms (oh, wait…) or campaigning?
I don’t know what to do with this, nor the fact that no one in the PLP seems to have a problem with this statement… FROM THE PRESS SECRETARY… other than softball tut-tuts and “That was bad, m’kay”s.
Anywhere else in the world, people would have been distancing themselves from this sort of thing in a major way.
Not here though.
It’s kinda turned my worldview (or at least as it pertains to Bermuda) on its ear. I’m flabbergasted and speechless.
It would appear that there is some other sort of predisposition present in the press secretary and the tut-tutters.
Is ignorance genetic? Unlikely. It’s an environmental response based on the company you keep, evidently.
Hey mate – it’s your blog and especially since you didn’t design it as a political blog, you can write about anything you want at any time ^_^
I agree that some of the shenanigans in Bermuda politics can be frustrating for anybody to deal with and unfortunately it’s taken its toll on the Vexed Bermoothes author, New Onion and others. And some of the statements made over the course of this year have been outrageous to say the least. Now if you want to draw up a cartoon lampooning some of these statements go for it, but otherwise just have fun – we love the strips – whatever they’re about.
Genetic predisposition… that barrage of recent crappitude is clogging my bullsh*t radar. I’m feeling my genetic disposition to barf at the thought of the racially charged division being created in order to line the pockets of a bunch of immoral scumbags.
Thanks, Try. That made my day. I needed that.
Flabbergasted? Possibly. Speechless? Fortunately, doesn’t appear so.
Whatchoo talking ’bout? For me, this IS speechless!
