I love politics!

For most, election season is a time that brings out disgust at those running for office and the trash they inundate the airwaves with. I on the other hand, love this time of year, especially when things get nasty, it is actually quite funny to see what these idiots will do and say to hold office. Today as I was watching the television I saw an add that essentially said that the incumbent Mayor was a wimp... another ad informed me if I voted for the democrats that my penis would probably shrivel up and fall off... voting republican on the other hand means subjecting myself to 1000 years of slavery at the hands of our corporate masters... and if I wanted to vote for my incumbent house member I might as well kiss my social security good-bye because this guy hates me and doesn't want to see me live because I am old.

Personally I think its time to take these campaigns the next level... No-Holds-Barred Battle Royals. Here's the plan... we will lock up two candidates in some sort of room or sets of rooms with tools to build weapons from. We will then see first hand which politician is the smartest, and most cut-throat, and thus more fit to represent us. As an aside, I was discussing this with Finbar this morning, and he thinks it mirrors an episode of the old Star Trek program, apparently aliens chose to judge cultures on how they fought with each other.... needless to say (according to Finbar) Shatner did us all right and kicked the aliens ass.

In any case, it is time for us to do the same to our scumbag politicians, if they are going to act like brutish kids, that actually have the power to affect lives, I say we treat them that way... it might be a good way to settle political disputes as well- I would love to see Denny Hastert and Nancy Pelosi fight it out for supremacy.... and who knows maybe in the process will will winnow down the ranks of these assholes.

Now for a brief Public Service Announcement:
Take some time tomorrow to vote, if you don't I don't want to hear a damn word about how you don't like how something is going. If you really cared you would take the 15 fucking minutes to let your voice be heard, and then if the bastards don't do what you want, you can bitch all you want.
