The 2012 Presidential Election is coming up this November and I am sure political conversations have been blowing up your Twitter and Facebook feeds. A Lazy Girl like you does not have time for politics. You have better things to do (Hot Pockets) than discuss the fate of reproductive rights, same-sex marriage, and the economy. Blah, blah, whatever. It’s not like the important issues are important to you, yet everyone seems to keep bugging you about what you think. Instead of reading the papers, news blogs and watching the debates on TV, follow our simple guide to looking smart about politics. No need to, like, learn something, right?
A Smart Ensemble
Wear red, white and blue everyday. Everyone will know you're in the 2012 election mood. ShutterStock.comCreate Meaningless Catchphrases
If two friends are in a heated debate and they're demanding you back them up, drop a meaningless catchphrase and walk away. Say, "It's not about pro-life or pro-choice, it's about pro-love and pro-voice!" By the time they realize they have no idea what you're talking about you'll have been long gone.

Wear glasses. Smart people wear glasses. Right? Yep. ShutterStock.comThe Rockets Red Glare
At karaoke everyone will be singing the hottest T-Swift or Rihanna track, but you'll be singing the "Star Spangled Banner." You're a real American. Real Americans know things. ShutterStock.comEasy Reads
Hold a newspaper and pretend you're reading it. Look outraged. How can you be mad about something you don't completely understand? ShutterStock.comAmerican Cooking
Eat good ole' American cooking like, apple pie, macaroni and cheese and hot dogs. Your special talent is eating anyway, Lazy Girl. Now you're just eating American. ShutterStock.comEverything Is So Historically Inaccurate
Whenever anyone brings up any kind of historical movie like, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter or National Treasure say things like, "My biggest problem with the film is that it was SO historically inaccurate." Everyone will think you know what actually IS historically accurate. ShutterStock.comPyrotechnic Patriot
What is more patriotic than fireworks? Get some and light them in the school parking lot. Your history teacher will give you a definite A. ShutterStock.comForeign Policy!
If someone makes an interesting point about politics you don't want to agree or disagree because then you'll have to--gasp--elaborate! An easy way to avoid taking a stance is to sternly ask a question. "Yeah that's a good point, but what I want to know is what we're going to do about foreign policy?" or "Yeah, I could see that, but what are we going to do about the environment?"

Run for President of the United States. Anyone can run as long as you were born here, right? Who would run for President if they weren't completely, 100 percent, qualified to do so? That's unheard of! ShutterStock.comDo people ask you a lot about politics? Let us know in the comments!
That’s not really GOOD advice…………….
This is suppose to be ironic right? I now feel like listening to Stupid Girls by Pink. Are you really saying that girls can just be cute and not really learn about the country and it be ok? This is why no one thinks there will be a woman president.
this is so stupid. are people really this stupid?
Well this was more like how to be a dumb blonde on politics.
OKAY, HOLD UP. WHY is this article teaching girls that they should be lazy and not learn about what’s happening with the restrictions that could be made to take away some of our reproductive rights?!?!? This is just wrong! I don’t turn 18 until next year, but I would give up my bedroom just to be able to have a voice! And any girl out there that IS able to vote in this election, be responsible and get informed.
Get caught, and you will look like a total idiot….
Thanks for further instilling the idea that women are naive and should remain that way, instead of, you know, instilling the fact that we are important and should therefore be informed of important topics that do affect us by the mere fact that we are humans.
Lol because its a good idea for girls not to learn about their reproductive rights…
Alternatively, you could actually become an informed citizen and make a responsible choice for the future.
True. But where’s the fun in that?
