2012 Voting-Booth Russian Roulette

In the last election I voted for Obama, not because I believed in him, but because I put my faith in the youth who supported him. He let us both down. I vowed never to vote again. Then Rebecca Solnit changed my mind. So I'll vote, okay? Now stop nagging me.

• Should we pass a law requiring English-only signs to use correct English, even if the pendejo holding the sign is ignorant? Note the samples posted here.

Did mayor spell his name right?

• Come election day, I have to decide between thelesser of two evils: Obama for four more years OR Romney for four toeight. You do the math.

• Someone said they were less worried Iran mighteventually have the atom bomb than they were Romney could have it two and ahalf months from now. Count the days and practice duck-n-cover, just in case.

At least this promises bilingualism.

• In Colorado we might pass areferendum legalizing marijuana. That would at least make it easier to survivepolitical ads of 2016. Cast your vote for sanity.

• Why do so many people callmy house asking how I'll vote? The election is a secret ballot. I tell that topollsters and doorknockers, and they act like I'm spewing rocket science atthem.

Illiteracy is bliss

• How come there's nothing onthe ballot about Arizona? Like making complicity with its anti-brown gov't afederal hate-crime?

• I've been flying aroundAztlán for a month. Why is it a federal crime to joke about airport security?What's not to joke about? I propose a federal referendum making it mandatoryto joke about airport security. Best joke wins a free ticket to a land free of sheepand home of the not-so-paranoid. It would add mirth to the wasted time, thepersonal violation and anxiety. Is there a second to my motion?

No spelling bee, either

• If the Demos and Repubsreally wanted to win the latino vote, they would compete in habanero-eatingcontests and crossing-the-Arizona-desert-by-night marathons. Only survivorscould take office.

Guess that makes it offical

• How snugly does George Orwell's 1984 shoe fit us now? Start with the words of CIA Director William Casey: "We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." (1981)

To refresh our memories: "NineteenEighty-Four is a novel by George Orwell published in1949. It is a dystopianand satiricalnovel set in Oceania, where society is tyrannized by The Party and itstotalitarian ideology. The Oceanianprovince of Airstrip Oneis a world of perpetual war,omnipresent government surveillance, and public mind control, dictated bya political system euphemisticallynamed English Socialism underthe control of a privileged Inner Party elite that persecutes all individualismand independent thinking as thoughtcrimes.

But it comes in two spellings

Their tyranny is headed by Big Brother,the quasi-divine Party leader who enjoys an intense cult of personality,but who may not even exist. Big Brother and the Party justify their rule in thename of a supposed greater good. The protagonist of the novel, Winston Smith, is a memberof the Outer Party who works for the Ministry of Truth, whichis responsible for propaganda and historicalrevisionism. His job is to re-write past newspaper articles so thatthe historical record always supports the current party line." Tally upyour own count.

Y ya con la mierda política en la tele,RudyG
