this year's election: the anti-"Being There" movie! (and we wish we weren't here!)

This election seems like a novel-- the antithesis of "Being There". (I wish I had written it!) Check out the plot:

One political party emphasizes social morality and fiscal conservatism-- and chooses a repulsively-immoral, big-government candidate.

One political party emphasizes peace, inequality, and justice-- and chooses a corrupt, lying warmonger.

The rest of us don't know whether to feel sorry for the mental gymnastics on both sides-- or to laugh at them-- or to be upset that they're trying to foist their garbage on us.

In any case, we won't be voting for your candidates; we'll be choosing someone else!
