Political Humor

On a completely unrelated note to ObamaCare, but related to Halloween, I went to a 6th grade Halloween dance at the school. Now, first of all, I felt a little awkward showing up at the school, because that is the way I felt in school back when they made me go there to learn how to be a good little subordinate of the State – which they failed at, by the way.

Once I got there, I had an exciting revelation. It turns out they were having an election. I didn’t even need to register to vote. This made me suspicious. Is ACORN behind this voting thing? And just what measures were being taken to prevent voter fraud?

I was completely unprepared to vote. There were approximately 200 candidates, and there was no indication just what position each candidate was campaigning for. What were their party affiliations? What if the candidate I voted for “best use of Halloween colors” was really running for “most realistic costume?” Who audits the vote count?

Not only that, but I had no idea where any of the candidates stood on the issues. I assumed that the person with the most expensive costume was in favor of economic growth, and the person that made their own costume probably favored fiscal responsibility, but was the zombie surgeon in favor of Socialized health care, or opposed to it?

I cast my votes, not knowing anything about the candidates for office, which really isn’t any different than anyone else does in a political election. Mostly I voted for people that looked good, or that I already knew. Also, much like a political election.

I do think the vote was rigged, however. My step-daughter did not win for best costume, and I voted for her twice. I demand a recount.

Happy Halloween!

Thanks to Les for letting me hijack his Halloween picture post.

Oh, my ghouls and goblins, it’s been a frightful week.  Now it’s time to take that pent-up rage and use it to gouge out the eyes of those who disagree with you. Strike deep with sharpened claws, to render the flesh of any naysayers.  For this week’s flame war parody ask the simple but demonic question: Trick…or Treat?

Let mayhem reign!
