I don’t care how<\/span> you vote today; I just want you to get out there and stuff those ballot boxes! Uh, that didn’t come out quite right.<\/p>\n

I also love John Rogers’ metaphor of the current administration as a questionable hook-up:<\/span><\/p>\n

We get it. Bush didn’t seem at all crazy when you met him at the club. And sure you dabbled in faith-based stuff, and maybe his foreign policy was a little naive, but come on — sexy, sexy tax cuts.<\/p>\n

But then things got out of control, and kinkier and kinkier and next thing you know you’re in a war with no occupation planning and no exit strategy and being told that’s okay and back off<\/span>…<\/p>\n

But let’s not get distracted. Point is — questionable hook-ups. We, as ordinary citizens, all know how we get out of this: you<\/span> stop returning the crazy person’s calls. We<\/span> promise never to bring it up when drinking…<\/p>\n

Don’t return their calls [today]. It’ll suck for a while, and they may bomb Iran to get your attention, and you’ll get lots of screaming and crying about how they’re the only ones who love you and can protect you from Osama and the gays, but you dig in, man up, come over and watch a few baseball games,and ride it out. You’ll probably have to hang tough through 2008, when they have that fake rehab “No baby, I’m okay now, come with me to group” bullshit going on. Don’t fall for it. Cra. zy.<\/p>\n
