…and while I’m on the topic of pollitics, here’s another:

Mercer for President 2008

Not sure if it’s bonafide or parody, but the point I want to make is that, despite the wording indicating a questionable state of mental health, reading between the lines this guy actually makes more sense than Bush. I openly confess having never given a fuck about US pollitics (and I’m not about to start), but if I could vote Mercer on the 24th of November in the Australian Federal (thanks for the date Pete, you’re dead-set a champion) I would be.

If you’re going to have a lunatic at the helm of your country, you may as well have one who isn’t *pretending* to be sane.

…in the future, unless you’re going to take action, do something productive, fix whatever is broken, write the annoucement, turn up to the meeting, or whatever, please just stfu!
