Brickfoot Bristol Beats Barbie Brandy?

So, I'm still not over this whole Dancing w/ the Stars (DWTS) thing. What am I referring to? The fact that Brandy was not able to go to the finals b/c she supposedly had less votes that Brickfoot Bristol Palin?! Yes, Brickfoot is her new name b/c she has about as much grace as a kangaroo w/ bricks strapped to his feet (paws, hooves, flappers, whatever!). So how does the graceless penguin beat the coordinated barbie when she is clearly not as talented on the dance floor??? Well, they tell us b/c Brickfoot had more votes than Brandy. I don't believe you.....you need more people!

One of the first signs that this was straight BS is the fact that they asked Brandy to come back for the finals and do the dance she and Maks were working on immediately upon announcing that she lost. C'mon son! If you know she deserves to be there to perform her finals dance, you know the audience (live and TV) want to see her perform, and that she is WAY better than Bristol, do the right thing and bring her back for the final three and let Bristol watch from the section for big-back bears! OK, I'm being mean...sorry (I guess). I was glad Brandy did not oblige and that she bowed out gracefully, although I know it was super hard for her. Another sign of the BS was the fact that week after week, the outfits became skimpier and skimpier for the women, BUT for some reason, Bristol has more material draping her legs than the week before? She is receiving special treatment bc no one else was able to hide their two left feet w/ long black capes pretending to be dance outfits.

Please note, I am not the president of Brandy's fan club or anything, but I consider the way she was treated as an injustice. I don't like injustice and I have to speak out against it when I can, even if its in my little 'ol blog that maybe four whole people will read, lol. I still feel better about calling it out! So what's really bothering me about this whole thing??? The straight pol-luh-tick-in son! For those who don't get my humor, what I mean is I am really pissed Brandy was voted off before her well-deserved finals performance due to politics. I don't care what you say, that was nothing but politics! Although it is just a TV show and seems to be no big deal to intelligent people, I believe the "voting" on DWTS is reflective of the current political environment of the US, which is a little scary. There...I said it!

For some reason, Tea Party (TP) members are voting their asses off while everyone else sits around talking about how crazy they are?! Whether it be for extending tax cuts for the wealthy, stopping unemployment benefits for those who still do not have jobs or Baby Brickfoot, the TPers are a united, motivated front. Sadly, they are now a force to be reckoned with...they actually have power?! Yikes! Amazingly, the new TP members of Congress had no plans for how they were going to implement everything they talked about in their campaigns. It's like lying on your resume, getting the big, fancy job, and staring @ the computer on your first day bc you have NO idea what the hell you're actually doing! Yeah, it's like that but still they are not held accountable. Republicans and TPers weasel they're way out of media interviews and tough reporter questions, yet the Democrats are persecuted daily in the media. Super wack. If you really pay attention to the America the TP claims it wishes to restore, you will freak out and vote w/ a sense of urgency next time. YOUR RIGHTS ARE AT RISK!!! But I digress...this is not the platform for the revolution.

The crazy thing is ALL we have to do is vote. The majority of Americans would rather give a tax break to the middle class as opposed to the wealthiest 1% and extend unemployment benefits for people that are still unemployed. But although most Americans feel this way, it is not obvious in Washington, D.C. Why? Because enough of us did not vote on Nov. 2nd and from this point forward, we have to do better. The TP is like the loud mouth girl down the street who is yapping away, but you KNOW she can't beat you, so it doesn't matter. The only thing it takes to halt the TP "movement" is votes. That's all, just votes.

So next time pick up the phone and vote for your winner and do not assume enough people are voting your way. So yeah, its just a TV show, but DWTS is just an odd example of what the TP can do if we do not also form a united front. If we couldn't keep Brandy on the dance floor, how will we keep Barack in the oval office?
