Who will you write in?
So, I guess election time has come around again, and we all know it's ugly. I'm not going to pretend to be really well-informed, but come on, why has this race become so dirty? I thought trash talking opponents ended in the 5th grade, as did nerdy commercials and jingles (a certain "dead head / red head" rhyme comes to mind). But, what do you do?
I'm reminded of an old South Park episode circa the 2004 election, in which the boys were forced to vote on a new school mascot. Their choices were either a "giant douche" or a "turd sandwich". (Kerry and Bush, respectively.) And I'm really scared that this election is heading toward a similar downward spiral. If it comes down to the "douche vs. turd" campaign, what are we all going to do?
We can't "throw our votes away" on a 3rd party candidate... (similar to the Springfielders' "Kang vs. Kodos" dilemna).
I guess what I'm trying to say is, that if it comes down to the wire, I just might write in David Palmer.

Yeah... that episode was one of the funniest episodes I have seen on South Park. I'm glad I got to watch it with you. Hilarious! And very true in many, many respects.
