The Funniest American Election Ever

Cadillac Man and I were laughing about it last night since neither of us have seen a situation in which all of America hates both candidates.

Usually one party's candidate is reviled but people can make the compromise for the less-acceptable alternative either by voting overtly or abstention.

This time each party hates its own candidate and is actively embarrassed.  The GOP has the unique position in which all of their offerings have been second-rate laughingstock.  Kasich tried to roll himself out as the 'rational alternative' but then he killed Planned Parenthood ... in an election year.  You can't even find that kind of stupidity if you troll all day in Texas.


Maybe it's time for the John Lennon performance:  what if they gave an election and nobody came?

You remember that song, right?


Oh, and here's a li'l tidbit to make it perfect for you.  While the 'banks too big to fail' were getting all the attention the major insurance companies merged down to five and right now additional mergers have taken place and shortly there will only be three major insurance companies in America.

And you still don't think you got railroaded!

I'm tellin' you, there's no way you can even buy comedy like this.

The Brooklyn Bridge has been bought and sold so many times people think the sales are real and the next auction will be at Sotheby's.


American argita in the time between now and June should be one classic spectacle of bilious rancor.

Vote for me or I will kill the dog!


Note:  that National Lampoon is real and definitely was not Photoshopped.  America had a sense of humor but, you see the year, after that Nixon killed it.

(Ed:  the dog?)

Nah, he kept Checkers the Dog.  He was one of the few things Nixon did not kill.  I have not as yet found the poster of him sitting on the toilet with the caption: would you buy a used car from this man.

Well, America did buy it and, wowzer, what a deal it got (larfs).

(Ed:  it should have let him kill the dog?)

You're not quite getting the wrongness of this killing concept, are you.
