More Political Fun

Slap the Candidate!

It's strangely cathartic. "That's for cutting funding for Americorps!" "That's for not bothering to learn how to pronounce 'nuclear'!" "That's for lying about your intent regarding the draft!" "That's for being such a smug piece of crap!" "That's for refusing to take responsibility for anything in any meaningful way, ever!" "That's for using EPA funds to pay for campaign ads!" "That's for lying to the UN about WMD in Iraq!" "That's for your efforts to blur the line between church and state!" "That's for trying to take away my civil liberties under the guise of 'Homeland Security'"

If you hit Bush hard enough, Howard Dean jumps out and yells "Yeeha!". I've been trying to hit Kerry hard enough to provoke a similar response, but can't seem to hit him hard enough no matter what I try.

All of this frivolity, of course, is simply disguising my deep-seated anxiety over the election.
