The Brain(moderator): It's time for our normal easy day spin.
Focused conscious: We must act before we end up in full exercise crisis if we continue with following all these deregulation policies, skipping workouts, eating whatever food you want. I'm willing to reach across the aisle and allow some junk food but overall we need to reign in these habits. We need to regulate Chip Street and get back to Exercise Street.
Slacker conscious: We need to think of our fitness. This is a fundamental difference between you and me. I believe that we need be free with our exercise and not add more regulations of what we can eat, when we have to exercise, how fast, how far. The body knows what it wants and the best way is to let it regulate itself.
The Brain(moderator): What about our weight?
Slacker conscious: I'm glad you brought that up. Another fundamental difference between my views and our opponents. I don't believe its man-made. It's just a natural cycle of our body. We can alleviate our hunger by subsidizing snacks. With Doritos at an all-time high of $3.59 for a bag, we need to explore cheaper chip options but we don't need complete independence. We've been able to go fast and have great fitness in the past and still eat chips.
Focused conscious: I disagree this new weight increase is man-made. It's not a natural cycle to gain 10 lbs in 6 weeks. It's a direct result of not eating clean fuel. We must continue to investigate and learn news ways to fuel our body during these tough times with healthy food. I'd also like to rebut deregulating our exercise. We need to stay focused, find a new goal, and develop a training plan. We gained all this fitness over the past year doing just that.
The Brain(moderator): What if your daughter became out of shape and fat?
Focused conscious: This is an extremely dangerous situation and we just can't allow that to happen in any circumstance. I would sit down with her and try to work out a solution. Explain how important it is to have exercise in her life.
Slacker conscious: This is something that both of us can agree that this is an extremely undesirable situation. However, we would be more diplomatic. We'd work with her mother and probably impose some sanctions to turn it around.
The Brain(moderator): Okay let's have the closing statements.
Slacker conscious: First I would like to thank you and my opponent for this great debate. As you can see, we just can't have another year of these policies, no junk food, waking up at 4:30AM everyday, and 2 workouts every day. The body just doesn't like it. We must continue with the chips surge and cannot cut our chip funding. The weight will go down again when it gets warmer as this is just a cycle. Sitting at our desk is just as good as an easy spin which is probably impossible with 20mph wind gusts.
Focused conscious: I would also like to thank you and everyone for listening to a great debate between my opponent and I. There are just fundamental differences between our campaigns. This is not just a cycle it is man-made. We need to start working on finding healthy snack food to fuel our body. Our campaign will reach across the aisle like having a beer at a party and some chips but we must have regulation. Exercise street can longer suffer at the greediness of Chip Street. We must focus now and head outside to ride.
Well, the slacker won the debate and I just sat at my desk. I did stay up for the debate which out on the east coast ended at 10:30pm. I was hoping for some Palin humor after the hilarious answers she was giving Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric in interviews. She only made one obvious mistake about the general in command. However she only got technical on a few questions and didn't even elaborate on her own policy but Biden said it in gory detail. Biden seemed to always try to answer every question as well as refute Palin's claims. He just look way more experienced at debating. For the real facts, check out this website, FactChecking.
I believe Biden won just from the fact he answered all the questions and Palin was lost on a couple that she didn't even address. We didn't find out any details on McCain's tax plan which means the most to me as having more money to spend would be nice. I thought it was interesting that the Democratic ticket opposed the official gay marriage. I just assumed the democrats were in favor of this. It's good to hear though that both tickets don't want any discrimination for a gay couple. Overall, you can definitely tell that Palin isn't very smart. Most politicians aren't which is fine as long as they have smart advisors it's just a bonus if they are. Biden definitely is smart just by the fact he just knows all those facts and figures. Sure you can say he just studied but that's the point. Palin studied too but really didn't recall all of it even with her notes. You could see her shuffling through her notes to find the right page as she attempted to start talking. Pretty amusing.
Onto a lighter note, the Beavers lost it looks like in the 4th quarter. Damn, typical though as they always choke it away. I'm worried about our chances at making a bowl game this year. My Dodgers look awesome right now with another drubbing of the Cubs. Sure you feel bad for the Cubs but man I'm excited. If the Dodgers make the NLCS, that would be great. Not sure if we can beat the Phillies or Brewers but it would be great. We still have to win at home and it's not like the Cubs are going to lay down.
It's Friday...I'll be hitting IKEA tomorrow with Elena for some furniture for her room and probably be hitting Costco for at least gas. I might go into the store but the only thing I'm out of right now is CHIPS. We'll see.
I thought that was an interesting point about the Democrats and the gay marriage issue as well. I thought they were pretty evenly matched, with the difference being Palin had the casual, "mom" approach and Biden was more formal/ politician-ish. I also thought it was cool they respected each other and agreed on some issues.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with Ikea. My daughter has the loft bed from there and loves it! (she's almost 12)
great parody.
ReplyDeleteI will disagree on one thing; Palin, much like Quayle, is nowhere near being "dumb". Even some of the people I despise most in politics...Gore, Biden, Pelosi...they are hardly ignorant. Little known fact; Bush had better grades than Gore.
But once the label is applied it is there forever. Though Quayle's intellect dwarfed that of the reporters who did not realize he had correctly spelled potato, he will forever be a punch line. For them, their errors became perception, perception became reality, and a man's reputation was wrecked.
Be that as it may, I will tell you who REALLY won the Biden-Palin debate; all of us who watched the Beavs or Dodgers instead. Seriously, anyone who votes based on a debate is the true idiot. It has no relation to how the job is actually done, it is just a test of public speaking ability. I could walk in there an obliterate either of them with very little effort.
No, the way to base the vote is to see what they have done in the past, how they have voted, which is an action they have done after deliberation and getting paid.
Just sayin'
