So, one of my Facebook friends posted a link to a Washington Post article about Michele Bachman's manicure and whether it's tasteful, tacky, or totally off-limits...

Are you effing serious? Is that really what's important these days? With everything that's going on (read: wrong) in this country we're seriously going to focus on Michele Bachman's fake nails? I can't believe this is even an issue. If people vote against her because of her acrylic nails then we are definitely up shit crick with no t.p.

The idea that people would focus on something so incredibly trivial is mind boggling (and it isn't just the Washington Post, if you read the article you will see that the attention is across a broad spectrum of media). As if we don't have enough to worry about, people are now bringing up a completely inconsequential factor. The presidency is not about fashion, it's about governing this country and we shouldn't be focusing on a person's look(s) when considering whether they have what it takes to drag this country out of the hellish abyss it's currently in.

Would you really rather have a president that simply looks good? Or would you prefer one that can actually lead? Personally, I prefer the latter. But if you're so ridiculously shallow that you would actually, genuinely, prefer the former then you deserve whatever terror your future, hot president can dish out.

Stop worrying about Bachman's manicure and start paying attention to what really matters.
