The most important election yada yada..

Empires die slowly. Gibbon dated Rome's official demise a thousand years after the date given by fundamentalist apocalyptacism, the same "prophecy" cited by their current incarnations. This is comforting given the causes cited by Gibbon, religeon and corrupt beaurocracy, threaten us today.

Is there a more apt image than a refugee from "communism", Mr. Swhartzenagger, fronting for a gang that makes the Politburo blush for their in your face ignorance and corruption? Did the commies sodomize children and then posture as macho warriors?

The election is no more than a meaningless choice between aggressive mismanagement and rapacious greed on the one hand, and timid, passive, beaurocratic dissembling on the other.
