Sucka NCs

I hate anything that involves the word 'pageantry', and the Democratic and Republican National Conventions fall under that category. After several slow news days with lots of articles on the speeches that were made for the fan boys, I was struck by the similarities between the speakers at these events and gangsta rappers.

They spend a lot of time bragging about where they're from.

They love catch phrases.

They often wear ridiculous outfits that are at the same time hideously unique while still conforming to the rules of their larger group.

They like to talk about how awesome they are and what they are going to do without getting specific on how.

They like to talk about how terrible people from the other party/coast/political ideology/record label are.

They find a few key words they really like and work them in to every other sentence.

While there are a few noteworthy women, its mostly a bunch of like-minded men with trophy wives.

Both groups are all about the Benjamins. Only the rappers are decent enough to admit it.
