Nobody Wins Again

I’ve been studying the polls closely and it’s close. I still hold to my prediction that Kerry will win. (See also, Bush Had His Chance.) But neither candidate seems to be able to put it away. Why? Because most Americans don’t want either one of these jokers to be president! Ironically, the only thing keeping Bush in the race is sentimentalism over 9/11, a disaster he presided over, slept through and responded badly to.

Americans are having trouble deciding between an atrocious President and an atrocious candidate. After the election, liberals may be extolling the Electoral College they’ve been bashing for years.

The real winner on Tuesday will be “None of the Above.” About 70 percent of the eligible voters will have failed to vote for the “winner” who will struggle to get a majority of those who actually vote.

So the only mandate the “winner” will have will be not to do anything to irritate the 70-75% of the electorate who didn’t vote for him.

As for that scary Halloween video released by Al Jazeera—it’s a brilliant makeup job, but if you look closely, I swear you can see Karl Rove wearing a kalansuwa and a fake beard.
