Pop-Culture-A-Go-Go
Tonight, there will be a new "Dancing with the Stars" champion. It may very well be Bristol Palin. I don't know, I've not watched much this season, because I knew it would annoy me. And while I will do many things that threaten to annoy me because I see some potential value in them, watching a bad season of "DwtS" isn't one of them.
However, Nick Mamatas has a great run down on the strange political drama that Bristol Palin's supporters seem to imagine themselves in, including this great bit reposted from some god-forsaken corner of the Internet:
"On the upcoming Monday, I will use ALL 100 fake e-mail account and ALL 500+ votes for Bristol. In fact, I might even “create” a few more fake ones.
Why not? I can stay up ALL night long and keep on voting. After all, there’s NOTHING the liberals or ABC can do about it. Hell, since the contest is winding down, we might as well admit it since everyone who tries to create the fake accounts actually CAN exploit it. If the liberals can’t do it, I guess we’re just smarter than they are.
BRISTOL is going to win because none of the liberals can stay up all night long and keep voting with as many fake accounts as the rest of the Tea Party and other supporters."
And this, as I said in the comments, is where the breakdown in communication is happening. Because they are seeing themselves in a grand liberal vs. conservative drama, when in reality, it is a "conservatives vs. fans of dancing" drama. Or, to put it another way, it's "Footloose," sans Kenny Loggins. Mostly.
