Political spam

10:35am Friday 31st October 2008 in Reader Blogs By Lynn Briggs

People in America, get a grip! Don't you know by now that I don't care in the least about American politics and never have?

Please stop sending me "Obama is the Anti Christ" forwards and please stop calling him "that Muslim freak". We are not amused and we don't appreciate it. I've never registered to vote and don't see why I should care now as I don't even live in the USA for more than two weeks a year, and it just doesn't matter to me "who" is President. Yes, I know that's not the right attitude to have and I should care, but I don't. Sorry and all. Please send your complaining, forwarded, spam emails.........somewhere else!

It was pointed out to my husband last week by an aspiring groupie, that all I do is complain and "how can he tolerate it", ad infinitum and ad nauseum, and please shut up. What is a Blog for? Is it to spout hearts and flowers and sweetness and light, or is it to offer an opinion? You try living in a country other than your birthplace, where you stick out like the proverbial sore thumb, and get back to me. I'll wait for your reply. (not) I upset people in the pub today when I corrected a patron who pronounced Mr. Obama's first name as "Berick". For some reason , the British press calls him that and it isn't correct. But then again, I don't care so why did I even bother to intervene? Beats me. Just call me "Bad Attitude" these days and let me get on with my life....and STOP sending me political and religious forwards. I didn't get into the religion part, but we'll save that for another rant. The girl is angry and she isn't gonna take it!
