I wanted so bad to vote "Burn the infidels!" - but in the interests of accuracy I voted "Who Cares?".

There were six hour lines for this voting nonsense in my town on Saturday... Miami, Fl.

Anyhow, why don't they just do this online?

I mean, I pay my bills, my taxes, and eh... Renew my driver's license, apply for credit, all online, and if that's secure enough, why not the vote?

WTF?!?!??
If you can imagine it, it can happen...

I'm seeing the term "Palin 2012" a bit to often for comfort lately

Maybe that's what the Mayans were on about

WASHINGTON—As election day nears, millions of the nation's poorest voters have reportedly yet to settle on the most profound and enduring way to completely fuck themselves over when they head to the polls this year.

"On the one hand, I'm pretty sure Barack Obama will undermine my best interests by maintaining the same centrist, pro-corporate policies of previous Democratic administrations," said Jim Estey, 34, a recently laid-off assembly-line worker. "Conversely, I agree with McCain and Palin on abortion, which might just balance out the fact that they'll further marginalize people like me by supporting deregulation and slashing social programs. So it's pretty much a toss-up at this point."

Though such behavior appears to directly undermine their own well-being, lower-income voters have historically supported candidates determined to screw them six ways to Sunday, including Bill Clinton, who incarcerated them in record numbers and cut the welfare benefits many depended on for day-to-day sustenance, and George W. Bush, who widened the gap between them and the rich and sent thousands of them to die in Iraq. This year's election is reportedly unique in that the nation's poor must not only weigh how deeply and painfully their chosen candidate will penetrate their rectums, but must also consider unforeseen outside circumstances—such as economic collapse and terrorism—that might allow the next president to bend them over and brutally rape them in ways they never thought possible.

The latest polls indicate that a majority of lower-class citizens might choose not to vote at all Nov. 4, preferring instead to leave the details of how they get fucked to the moneyed classes.

Colbert and Stewart can get jobs in the industry for a long, long time. if Comedy Central dropped them any number of stations would kill to pick them up.
