Today is a historic day. (Notice I didn’t write an historic day like some people do? That’s because the letter H is many things, but one of the things it is very much not is a vowel. Some people would do well to remember that fact).
Anyway, today is a historic day. Today, the United States will vote in their 44th President, and there’s a very good chance he’s going to be black. For many reasons, I hope Obama wins. The most minor of these reasons is the colour of his skin. I think it’d be a testament for how far racial equality has come if Obama became the most powerful man on the planet.
More importantly, though, I think he’d make the better President. I also admire the fact he hasn’t really resorted to the same mud-slinging the McCain camp has used in the run-up to the election. And he’s a fan of Superman. That wins my vote any time, because a fan of Superman is by default a fan of Truth and Justice. It also means we could chat about comics if we ever found ourselves stuck in a lift together.
Anyway, what better way to commemorate the importance of the US Presidential Election, than by posting a video of Skeletor and Evil Lyn singing Meatloaf’s Dead Ringer for Love? If there’s a more appropriate way of marking the occasion, I’ve yet to hear it.
I made this video clip a couple of years back for my old Random Rant website. It’s high time it got another airing.
