Wow. Meet Tracy Kerlee. The worst part is, I'm probably related to like, five of this woman. YouTube's calling her Crazy Tracy, and I ran across this clip from NOW on Warren Ellis' blog with the title "Why My American Readers Should Vote This Time." Where do you start with someone like this? First off, I am always a little confused by people with oppositional worldviews who fall in love. They must do love a little differently than I do. Shawn Kerlee's an undecided voter, (there's another video) and this late in the election, they creep me out, too. They're really weird. i picture them being undecided about all kinds of things, like whether or not to have sex, where to park, what clothes to wear. And a buffet must be truly perplexing. How the fuck do you become undecided when the choices are polar opposites? "Would you like your hand amputated, or not?" "Well, let me think about it..."
Then there's his maniac of a wife, who embodies everything that is wrong with America. An unshakable faith that has hardened into a carapace of self-righteous fury, and a solid belief that being like Tracy is the only acceptable way for Americans to be. You can hear the xenophobia when she speaks, see the hollowness behind her faith. There's nothing in those eyes. You believe and you pray and you know what right and wrong is because you're either too fucking stupid to question and think about things, or because you have no real personality at the core of your being, and you're happier being a series of responses to stimuli. It's a gross, disgusting waste of a brain. I am ashamed to share a country with this woman - she's the downside of tolerance.
A vote for McCain is a vote for Tracy Kerlee.
