It’s pretty safe to say that no one will look back on 2008 and say “Jesus, what a boring year that was.” Those of us who make it ’til New Years (bankers, step away from the ledge — your account balance is nothing resembling your worth as a human being) may even look back on this year with fondness — sort of like a calendric form of Stockholm Syndrome. But until then, there’s this little matter of an election (and however many more economic meltdowns the DOW has up its sleeve) that needs to be dealt with.
Not that I have any strong opinions on which way it should all go down, of course. But the way I see things, it comes down to this: If you like all these semi-apocryphal fall-of-modern-civilization drive-old-ladies-to-suicide your-dentist-could-be-Mad-Max-by-next-year calamities we’ve been having on a daily basis, vote one way.
But if you’re fucking sick of society bringing on its own stupidity-soaked demise, and prefer an injection of intelligence, dignity, and sanity into government, vote the other way.
Happy Democracy!
