IM me when you get a chance

I got pretty much the exact same results, only with Chris Dodd like 1% ahead of Obama and Kucinich being at 83 instead of your commie bastard 93%. This is what happens when I answer questions based on what I'd LOVE, as opposed to what I actually think is feasible at this point in time. This'd be more useful if it mentioned who could actually get things done, but it's interesting and fun! (Yay Obama!)

(Also, about the red: HA! Like the Republicans would let those Bolshevik scum take their colors away from them!)

Yeah, Obama is just so likeable. Clearly he wouldn't really be able to do anything in the Whitehouse, but I like to imagine that he'd be useful just by being there, as someone that the whole of the country (and the rest of the world) can actually not HATE. And not in the 'be bludgeoned to braindeath by my sexual charisma' Bill Clinton way.

But yes! I am a dirty commie bastard! I was sitting there with quite a few of those questions going 'why isn't there a decent left wing option here? None of these really count!'

All this pre-election (or pre-pre-election, since this is really only the minor spectacle which goes before the true main attraction, like the dancing poodles before the clowns or the executions by wild beast while the gladiators are limbering up) furor brings to mind two words: feudalism works. I think the events of the past few decades have proven conclusively that, bereft of a proper aristocracy to rule them with an iron fist, the American public will go out of its way to create an analogous hierarchical structure. Often from the most unlikely materials, rather like carving a Rhodian colossus out of Munster.

What we need is a good old fashioned peasant rebellion. It helps keep people honest. And guarantees top-shelf smocks for the serfs.

Hehehe... now I have this vision of Mike Huckabee as a giant metal statue bestriding a harbour somewhere... maybe in Rhode Island. Those guys are pretty freaking insane already, they could be convinced to do it.

I could riot for a top-shelf smock. Or even a bit of moldy bread (that stuff produces LSD!), actually. Come to think of it, rioting just seems plain fun, even without incentives. And probably more likely to be democratic than anything in the political system over here.

Hehehehe.... yeah, that writer was rabid. I kinda want to see what it says for 100% now.

What do you know, I'm just like you.. only with 15% more individuality. (Same spiel about being irredeemable, though.) I find myself strangely offended, while still maintaining a healthy dose of apathy.
