The Sound of the Crowd

prediction 2

Someone, somewhere is going to do a joke about ALIEN VS. PREDATOR that spins them as Democrats vs. Republicans. But which are they?

On the Predator side, we have “an invisibility-cloaked extra-terrestrial warrior that wreaked havoc in the jungle.”

That would be the Republicans. Who cloak their real motives in the shadows, have no humanity at all, and wreak havoc in the desert.

And need I remind you who starred in the first Predator film?

On the Alien side, we have a species bossed around by a big queen who is actually a puppet, enjoys whipping*, and is a little too eager to tell you you need a hug.** That would be the Democrats.

Oddly enough, the Aliens do not support a woman’s right to choose what she will carry around in her belly until it’s ready to come out. Or a man’s, for that matter. That would be the Republicans, then.

Oh well, it’s like their tagline says: It’s time to pick a side.

And: Whoever wins… We lose.

And: It’s our world….It’s their war.

*Her tail

**Face hugger, natch.
