This will most definitely offend some people, and for that I'm sorry. But I just have to share what one of my students said this morning because it is one of the funniest images I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying in my brain. Seriously. I'm still laughing.
This student knows very little about politics. I'm not even quite sure if he's old enough to vote. But he told me this morning that he supported Obama because Mitt Romney looked like a conquering despot.
I kinda see his point.
He went on to say that if Romney had won he imagined him immediately roaring in triumph. He said that it would be like living under Jafar, and if Romney won we would be in a Disney movie. And then Obama would come charging up and slay him with a sword, protecting his people from the villainous usurper and reclaiming his rightful place.
What?
This is ridiculous, and this student is silly, but savor that image for a moment. If it helps, replace Obama and Romney with other people. I don't care. Just imagine Romney, arms upraised in triumph, and Obama charging him with a broadsword.
That's gold right there. Pure gold.
Anyway, I'm sorry if I've offended you, but kids say the darndest things. I just had to share.
