In a Democracy Even Crazy People Get to Vote

Apparently, this is the year of the crazy vote.  And the crazy voters are out in droves, making pundit predictions for this year's primaries even more meaningless than usual.  Health services for chickens was beat out by if-voting-doesn't-work-get-out-your-guns candidate Sharon Angle.

Sarah Palin and Jim Demint are slugging it out across the country over who can back the craziest candidate.

And in Delaware yesterday, the republican winner was Christine O'Donnell, to whom I believe God has given the nod as far as being in charge of making sure we don't do the dirty deed in the shower.

All I can say is, you can't blame South Carolina anymore.  Jim Demint is just a tiny, tiny cog in the crazy-wheel of American politics.  Alvin Greene may have been bribed  by some dastardly right-wing conspirator, but at least he's got the decency to lay low.  HE knows he doesn't have much to say.

Be forewarned, Democrats.  If you laugh off this year's general election, we just may have two years of not-so-funny legislators throwing darts at the Constitution.  You know how the song goes,

"They all laughed..."

They all laughed at Reagan running for President.  And not twelve years later, we laughed again at a George W. Bush presidency.

We paid for that laughter with a lot of tears.

So GET OUT AND VOTE.
