DRAFT STEWART & COLBERT
In this corner we have the proud Republicans. They are the political party of "more". More lies. More war. More debt. Okay, so we have less protection of our basic Constitutional rights. And we get less gasoline for our hard earned dollars. But we also have more rifle shot in our face. So, if you add it all up (don't forget to carry the one) we have more more than we have less.
In the other corner we have the Democratic party. This is the party that chose, from among
all of Earth's amazing natural kingdom, the ass as their mascot. Why would any decision
that has come since be a surprise?
We need a third option.
And not Ralph Nader, who almost two years after he lost the election is still regularly updating his campaign website, asking for donations, and trying to sell the DVD of his 2004 debate. I think I read that the only people who ever bought are the guys running Abu Graib.
And we certainly cannot look to the Reform party for help. Why not? Because their
website's "Directory of Candidates" is blank. And it is damn near impossible to run
a winning write-in campaign for blank, even though blank always gets the most votes.
We need Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.
Why? Because they have more common sense in them than all the members of all three branches of government combined. Maybe that isn't setting the bar high enough, but it works for me.
And because they make us laugh. And laughing beats the crap out of crying. Crying until your eyes swell to the size of small melons and bleed. Which is what most of us who are paying attention have been doing for the last 6 years. Well, except for those of us who have been paying attention and working for Halliburton. Those guys at Halliburton? Boy, they can sure tell you about more.
