I feel one coming on, and it's due to my electoral choices for the open Senate seat in Missouri. Unless you've had your head stuck down a hole this past week, you'll recognize one of the candidates as Todd Akin. You know, the mental defective who said that in cases of "legitimate rape" a woman's body sort of shuts down to avoid pregnancy. I'm paraphrasing. It actually sounded a lot dumber than that.
For a number of reasons I dislike his opponent, the incumbent, Claire McCaskill. I won't bore you with my political views, but here's just one example of the brilliant leadership she's evidenced during her term in office: while questioning the postmaster general about the post office's looming insolvency, she asked, "Have you thought about an advertising campaign to get people to write more letters?" Again, I paraphrase. It actually sounded a lot dumber than that.
So. Buffoon No. 1 or Buffoon No. 2? The two parties have figured out how to devalue our vote, haven't they?
