Just watched John McCain say on camera, " Sarah Palin’s a maverick. I’m a maverick ! "
Do I get to be a maverick too ??? Is there a 4 week course I can take? Are there benefits? It appears that more and more mavericks are coming to the fore.
Anyone have a handle on this whole maverick thing?
In the late 1960’s Hippies were proud of being different and not following the crowd. They dressed differently and listened to different music. They were all very unique and different.
This explains why 500,000 attendees at the Woodstock Arts and Music Festival looked exactly the same.
I want to be different. Like everyone else I want to be like.
ETA: I realize that the status quo is a bad thing. But even I don’t think installing a bunch of loose cannons in the congress is the right answer.
Interestingly enough, I heard a news story on the radio that the Maverick family has asked the McCain/Palin campaign to stop using the term Maverick, since the family supports Obama.
Apparently the “original” Maverick was a rancher who refused to brand his cattle, so when other local ranchers found an unbranded stray among their herds, they called it a “Maverick.”
Palin is a ‘Maverick’, because unlike the right wing of her party who want to ban all abortions, teach Creationism in science and shoot lots of guns, she … err …
