Pop Goes the Culture
Shoulder pads, slap bracelets, Sinead O'Connor, streakers, sideburns, Sex and the City, string art, sea monkeys, SUVs, the Slinky. The best part about trends and passing fads (besides blackmailing your friend with the picture you have of her in that 1986 poodle perm) is the insight it can give us about our world. Sure, at the time a rat tail and listening to New Kids on the Block may have just seemed like harmless fun, but trends are more than just being able to say "Yes, I too tried the Adkins diet." And so this blog is devoted to finding all the latest trends and passing fads our culture can come up with and trying to figure out what they say about us other than at one point, we too thought the Emo look was cool.

AprillBrandon - > Pop Goes the Culture -> Stephen Colbert for President?
Stephen Colbert for President?

Finally. That's all I have to say (although I'd rather see the Daily Show king himself, Jon Stewart, take a stab at the presidency).

If you haven't heard yet, Stephen Colbert has announced his plans to run for president, according to a story Wed. on CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHO...)

While the world is wondering just how far the comedian will take his candidacy, I must admit I love this idea. Too often during presidential campaigns (at least since I've been old enough to vote) I've heard people complain that basically we are just voting for the lesser of two evils, the candidate least likely to get us blowed up.

So call me politically naive (or more likely the majority of you want to call me an idiot) but I think having a comedian in the White House would be the best thing that has happened to this country in awhile.

Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not bashing any particular Presidents in office currently, but at this point how much worse could Colbert do? I mean, let's face it, most presidents have messed up in office at one time or another. It's inevitable when you're running an entire country. So why not put someone in office who can mess up but then make us all laugh about it during his hilarious State of the Union Address.

Plus, I think the world could use a laugh. So Mr. Colbert you have my vote.
