Life ain't Great in a swing state ....


Is there something big going on Tuesday? Oh yeah, its my birthday. Other than that, I know of nothing else going on. If something was going on I would hope I would have been called, or mailed or seen a commercial for it. Welcome to my denial. In the spirit of the election on Tuesday, I am going to do my own Pop Culture elections. Feel free to vote and comment. Like the election being held this week, please be respectful of other's opinions. I know how heated it can get to debate High School Musical 1 or High School Musical 2.  Trust me I have been on both ends.
Let’s Get Started…

Fonzie vs Potsie—I am voting for Potsie. I still have a crazy crush on Anson Williams and loved it when he sang on the show. Sure Fonzie was cool but Potsie knew how to take care of a girl. Boyfriend wore the hell out of that letter sweater.

High School Musical 1 vs High School Musical 2 – Well, first of all I purposely took HSM 3 off the ballot. I feel like Disney diluted the franchise by releasing it in theaters and not on the Disney channel.  I could write 5 blog posts on how passionately I feel about this subject. Anyhoo, my vote goes to HSM 2 just for the simple reason that my Boo got to do a solo number on the golf course and get really angsty and emotional.  This was a close vote for me because I really like the “Getcha Head in the Game” dance number in HSM 1 but the introduction of Sharpay’s gave #2 the advantage.

Britney vs. Christina--   Remember when these 2 teen queens were duking it out on the charts? My vote goes to Britney. Sure Xtina is the better singer and I appreciate that she has real women curves but Britney is the best. She has the drama, the crazy family and I was way invested into her teen romance drama with JT. I also loved how she married random people but most of all she gets my vote because she kissed Madonna and danced with a snake.

GMA vs. Today Show – This is a no brainer for me. I have been a GMA girl from day one. I think I was the only girl in 8th grade that had a crush on David Hartman.  I cried big tears when Joan Lunden left and vowed I would never love a co-host again. Then I met Robin Roberts and was like Joan who?  I don’t like Matt Lauer and never cared for Bryant Gumbel.  I never bought into the America Sweetheart angle with Katie Couric.  Plus, GMA had Joel Siegel my movie critic hero (please don’t confuse him with Roger Ebert my critic crush—not kidding.) How could you trust a review from Gene Shalit? He has crazy hair and no fashion sense.

Tom Cruise vs. Dr. Tom Cruise – Remember the days when Dr. Tom Cruise wasn’t crazy and didn’t pretend like he knew what was best for women everywhere? My vote is for Top Gun, Jerry McGuire Tom Cruise. In my opinion he lost his way when he divorced Nicole. She would never have allowed him to jump on couches or openly proclaim his love for her.  I am confident that this will win by a landslide.

My lists could go on and on. Feel free to let me know if you have any other scenarios.
