The Itch: 2010 in the Making

Scratch it baby!

I agree with Benjamin’s observation that the 2010 elections “will be all glamor, glitz and sashaying all over again”. True enough, one of the worst parts in the history of Philippine elections is that part where political candidates assume the role of actors and actresses, aside from the fact that they also assume the role of clowns and all the rest of the thesaurus entries for ‘entertainer’. Every election is a replay of the past, refusing to simply wither, die and be forgotten somewhere in the recesses of human memory. Having said that, it takes no Einstein to chance upon the thought that elections are circuses for both the grown-ups and the retarded, a cadence of assorted politicians riveted altogether by the common goal of fancying the throne. More amusing is the fact that the recurrence is a trend willingly embraced by the political parties armed with the latest political mantra. The sight of politicians raking the minds of voters with political jingles in their campaigns is as equally horrendous as a pornstar’s acting stint, only that this time around flesh and meat do not come with obscene labels like the proverbial eggplant. They do, however, manifest themselves as sickening politicians who pretend to be either human beings or entertainers.
