Election Entertainment

What If We Really Cared? As much as Election Entertainment tries to highlight the sideshows of politics, we are occasionally compelled to look at why we can be so cavalier.  The passing of Atlanta's U.S. Congressional Representative John Lewis and this stirring eulogy by President Obama prove that while the court jesters have their roles, we still need leaders to govern.  Times are unbelievably tough today but were even worse in the 1960s.   One president was assassinated, a presidential candidate was gunned down at the end of a great primary victory, and Rep. Lewis's mentor, Martin Luther King, was murdered by yet another gunman.  There was also a distant war that tore this country apart, National Guard troops shooting students, and open racial discrimination (segregation, legislated voting suppression, hangings, and public beatings).  Even worse, our nation in conflict was under the shadow of a constant threat of global thermonuclear war, only kept at bay...

Kanye's Campaign Reigned In Kim Steps Up In what may become one of the shortest presidential campaigns, Kanye's bid may have been trumped by his wife, Kim (see article above).  Kanye may be a musical genius, but his wife is clearly the brains of the family.  His public apologies may be prelude to the ending of his run for the White House.  This is bad news for Election Entertainment, as he was definitely the #1 favorite to entertain.  After all, he is an entertainer. Some readers have questioned such tabloid content in this politically focused journal.  Our answer to such criticism is to look and yawn at who else is running. #electionentertainment

Revamping His Team Is Kim the New Ivana? As this presidential election descends into the fog of the global pandemic, it becomes Reality Election, which should not make any sense.  Whether it is delusion created by the forced isolation or side effects of the actual virus, the 2020 presidential election is becoming too strange to change.  Videodrome has finally arrived! #electionentertainment

The Next Level Kanye West Breaks Down, Makes Dubious Claim About Harriet Tubman at South Carolina Rally  Now it is on the public record, Kanye has signed up for the presidential election and has a brain too big for his head (see article above).  His recent performance will dazzle everyone who has not been able to get drugs from their dealer and/or doctor due to the pandemic. Kanye is incredibly funny, but not in an Eddie Murphy, Lucille Ball, Red Skeleton, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, or Sara Silverman way.  More like a weird Rosanne Barr/Jim Carrey (think: 'The Mask')/Wanda Sykes/Jim&Tammy Bakker hybrid on acid and roofies way. The Donald can't touch this.  I expect Kanye's media exposure to eclipse The Donald by September.  Unfortunately, Kanye will not make it onto every state's election ballot.  Strangely, he may only get on battleground states.  Funny how that works. #electionentertainment

We Love to Swing - Wildly Kanye Best Click for Article Kanye West may be a perfect fit to replace The Donald.  Henry Louis Mencken, a well known satirist of the early 20th century, once said, "As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people.  On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." In other words, America's leader will be the perfect personification of its voters. Today, the country is as polarized as ever.  Unlike the past, its technology plunges America's polar opposites together like the force used to trigger the critical mass of nuclear power needed to set off the atom bomb.  Everyone is mesmerized by a nuke, even those who get fried by it. Kanye can be America's societal nuke, as he brings together both extremes in such captivating ways.  The Donald has only a very limited payload, w...

Show's On! https://deadline.com/2020/07/kanye-west-presidential-bid-july-4th-donald-trump-elon-musk-joe-biden-kim-kardashian-1202977608/ Some of you might have thought Election Entertainment had gone pandemic dark, and you were right.  This election year has been the most boring since 1789, when George Washington ran unopposed, and the electorate did not vote.  Throw a wet blanket pandemic over it, and some are speculating there will be no election - until now.  Kanye West, better known as Kim Kardashian's hubby, has thrown his hat into the ring AND released a new album - a twofer! The Donald is a great performer - a unique combination of Mr. Burns and Crusty the Clown.  However, he is no match for Kanye, who can usurp a presidential debate as easily as he can upstage Taylor Swift at the Grammy Awards. Election Entertainment BEGS you to sign Kayne's petition to run as an independent.  It does not matter who you plan to vote for or not vote at all.  America ...
