			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yall.  I have been reading CNN.com, and found that Obama is on a &#8216;rebranding&#8217; campaign through the Middle East.  I think he wants to &#8216;prove that we have changed&#8217; and that we&#8217;re &#8216;not ass holes any more&#8217;, and we &#8216;need their help&#8217; so that Iran doesn&#8217;t bomb the USA.</p>
<p>I thought that once George W. Bush left office, our nation would be safe again, cuz the rest of the world would realize that we had &#8217;some Texan racist bro&#8217; as our President.  Guess it&#8217;s &#8216;not that ez.&#8217;  Wish I could live knowing that America/my local mall/business center isn&#8217;t gonna get bombed by some krazie ppl.</p>
<p>Got sad when I saw Obama getting &#8217;stomped on&#8217;<br />
<img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/photographs/rscyme.jpg"></p>
<p>I just wish these people understood how &#8216;cool&#8217; and &#8216;normal&#8217; Obama is, so that maybe they could accept him, too.<br />
<img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/photographs/oisj6a.jpg"></p>
<p>Think this is a metaphor that Obama is &#8217;still the enemy&#8217; even though he is in a different mask<br />
<img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/photographs/29gctp3.jpg"></p>
<p>I think she really cares about Obama going home because she took the time to trace out the sign with a pencil before putting marker ink on the sign.<br />
<img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/photographs/124d8og.jpg"></p>
<p>YALL.  Do you think America will ever be &#8216;cool&#8217; in the eyes of the Muslims/Arabs?  Do they know that he <a href="http://www.hipsterrunoff.com/2009/03/ive-always-wanted-a-president-who-i-could-have-a-beer-with-talk-abt-life-some-bro-asshole.html">drinks brewskies at basketball games</a> and <a href="http://www.hipsterrunoff.com/2009/03/hey-yall-i-came-up-with-a-plan-2-save-the-economy-called-bracketologie.html">participates in March Madness</a>?<br />
I think we need to send them large television screens that they can put in public spaces and watch more American television.<br />
Does n e 1 know the difference between &#8216;Muslims&#8217;, &#8216;Arabs&#8217;, &#8216;Middle Easterners&#8217;, and &#8216;terrorist cells&#8217;?<br />
Do u think it is time 2 give up on peace in the Middle East?<br />
Should we just build a metaphorical firewall around America?<br />
Should we put a boot in their ass?</p>

<p>Can we send &#8216;Arabia&#8217; some sort of care packages full of leftover Obama Presidential Campaign t-shirt, stickers, and miscellaneous tactile memes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What&#8217;s the deal with fashion designers making women cover up?  I thought that since we live in the &#8216;Western World&#8217;, we are allowed to objectify women in public.  It&#8217;s rlly not fair to try to create a new fashion gimmick using the same ideology that our terrorist enemies use.  I hate oppression, yall.<br /><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/rDobnmkKdbpfw9n2bIBxjEur_500.jpg" /><br />I would NEVER live in the Middle East/Far East because I couldn&#8217;t eyeball fuck hotties/kreepily gaze at [barely illegal] hotties.  Does n e 1 know why they make them &#8216;cover up&#8217;?   Do they like tugjobs over there, or are they just like &#8216;over-protective boyfriends&#8217; who don&#8217;t want their GFs to look sexy in public so they make them wear denim jumpers?<br /><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/w03539f-1.jpg"><br />I would never live in a country/a cult where every woman had to wear <span style="font-weight:bold;">possessive boyfriend jeans</span>.</p>
<p>Would u move to Dubai?  I hear they give you a lot of money to buy nice stuff (like Sharper Image closeout items and leather goods) if u move there.  They also build a lot of stuff that isn&#8217;t rlly very practical. That place is going to look like a Pixar movie in like 2 yearz.<br /><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/ShowLetter_019.jpg" /></p>
<p>What&#8217;s the deal with HIJAB fashion?<br />From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijab">wikipedia</a>:<br />
<blockquote>Hijab or ħijāb (حجاب, pronounced: [ħi.ˈdʒæːb]) is the Arabic term for &#8220;cover&#8221; (noun), based on the root حجب meaning &#8220;to veil, to cover (verb), to screen, to shelter&#8221;.</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s srsly taking over. I wish every1 could live in a world where women could be objectified.  More importantly, I wish every little girl could live in a world where she constructed her self-concept based upon her objectification levels from ages 3 to 35.  I&#8217;m a dreamer, though.  :-(  Call me crazie&#8230;<br /><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/fragilefuturityss08show003-1.jpg" /><br />[Hijab meme stolen from <a href="http://tumbledore.tumblr.com/post/43075298">Tumbledore</a>]</p>
<p>Remember the simple days when life was all about chillin in <a href="http://www.hipsterrunoff.com/search/label/Palestinian%20Scarf">Palestinian Scarves</a> that didn&#8217;t &#8216;cover up too much&#8217;?<br /><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/kufy.jpg" /></p>
<p>N e ways&#8230; I&#8217;m just saying that I am least likely to study abroad on the following continents:
<ul>
<li>Africa</li>
<li>Asia (except Japan and maybe the Euro part of Russia)</li>
<li>Antarctica</li>
<li>Iceland</li>
<li>Guantanamo Bay</li>
<li>Brazil</li>
<li>South America/ n e where below the USA on a map</li>
</ul>
<p>I am most likely to study abroad in
<ul>
<li>A country where they speak English like the UK/Australia</li>
<li>A country where they speak English like Germany</li>
<li>A country where they speak French like France</li>
<li>A country where they speak Mexican like Spain</li>
<li>A country where they speak electro like France/Australia</li>
<li>Toronto</li>
<li>Honolulu (I hear it&#8217;s really alt over there now)</li>
</ul>
<p>What&#8217;s up with the world?  When did it all get s0 &#8216;random&#8217; (in a bad kind of way, not a funny kind of way)?<br />I will blog for social change more often.  I feel like a better person now.</p>
