kirideth | Dear Citizens of the Internet (warning: meta-politics ahead)

I kindly request that you please refrain from using absurd nicknames every time you refer to a political candidate. It may be clever once or twice, but the frequency with which you do it makes you look like an attention-seeking child with no originality. It's beyond getting old. It is also disrespectful to that person, who I assure you exists in physical reality, on the other side of the computer screen (not to mention the candidates themselves). No one wants to see how many times you can stuff "McAnus" or "NObama" or the like into a paragraph. Along those same lines, unnecessary emphasis, specifically "Barack HUSSEIN Obama" is just as tiresome. Yes, that's his name. Ha ha. His middle name is the same as the last name of an infamous Iraqi leader who was executed nearly two years ago. The coincidence there has no real bearing on anything. Yes, yes. I am aware that this is the Internet, and that it's OMGSRSBZNS. However, some people use the Internet for *gasp* real communication. And those people are just as guilty. Indeed, I've heard some people take these names off the Internet and into real life conversations.

So, in conclusion, you can do better than that. There's plenty to say about everyone running without resorting to the equivalent of calling them weenieheads. Indeed, this petty schoolyard nonsense may even detract from your point.

Sincerely,
Me
