First a Haircut... Then Some Trim

John Mayer here.

So I think we're all sifting through all the bullshit from Election Fever. Barry Obama did tear the roof off the Mile High City; and from one Rock God to another, "DUDE YOU TOTALLY ROCK!"

It was an amazing week and it was awesome to be amongst it all. It's the kind of week that truly inspires the soul. Teddy K came out of his death bed to sing the praises of the Big O. The Clintstones buried their hatchets and let the world know who is who and what is what.

The tallest order of week however came from Bam himself; proving to the redneck, cracker population that the Obamas are an ordinary American family. Well after being an actual witness to the DNC I can safely say is that they surely are anything but ordinary... They're the Huxtables.

With all the wonderful things to say about the Dems over the last week, I was still left with a serious feeling of abandonment. With all the political mega stars on hand there was a noteable absentee. John Edwards.

Now we already now the sad story of how Edwards lost the nomination on account of a $400 haircut and his career over $2 trim. Seriously? His career for some (ugly) pussy. Damn!!!

As horrible as that sounds by itself; the saddest story is the voice on an all important issue that was lost. In my lifetime there hasn't been a single politician, Black, white, green, or orange that has stood bravely before their fellow man and speak for (not down to) the poor.

Although it bore the fruit you worship (John Mayer), over 10% of the people in this country live below the poverty line. These are people that working, struggling and hustling trying to see where the ends meet much less actually meeting them.

The one viable voice that the Dems had they threw under the bus along with his illegitimate child. Look, I know the pressures of being in a different city every night. I have pussy thrown my way all the time. And sure I take it; I deserve it. But to throw out your voice? That's like me throwing out my guitar and playing clarinet for the rest of my career. Sure I could but would I still be a Rock God? Probably not. To that end, can the Dems truly say they are for every American? It's questionable.

So go ahead McCain and you Repube bastards; the Dems aren't perfect. But should the goings on of a person's bedroom be indicative of their ability to govern effectively? I mean I guess it's easy to talk when your nominees never had an extramartial affair or children conceived out of wedlock. Oh that's right, they have.

Peace Out!
