i vote because...

quite frankly, i can. never mind civic participation, voting for a candidate i truly believe in, or even an overwhelming sense of civic duty. i vote to taunt the oppressed populace of tyrant nations.

with that mindset, i'm a winner with every lever i pull. it doesn't matter who wins.

looks like we're in for 4 more years of more of the same. at least we can enjoy hefty tax cuts and a government that spends like m.c. hammer during his heyday. politics will remain as entertaining as the daily comics section. and i honestly can't wait to see what country we'll skirmish with next! is it gonna be the north koreans? the iranians? or an obscure african country? or maybe it's time we make cuba the next puerto rico. or maybe we can start betting on the winner of the nucular (read: nuclear) arms race at our local bookies! woohoo!

so what can we learn from this? never, never underestimate the power of born-again farmers living on huge tracts of land in middle america. massing your firepower isn't as effective as an overall spread. so, boys, it's time to grab your shotguns (and your now legal assault weapons) and get ready for war!

on a different note, those koalas/kangaroos have never looked cuter. yay for masupials!
