Fig- Now that we have your attention, today we would like to talk about elections.
Frag- Yep they are coming up this year and we get to pick which clown gets stuffed in the car first!
Fig-If only we could stuff them in a car...
Frag-So we have the dull grey mammal party...
Frig-Uh, you just described both of them.
Frag-Damn, okay how about the "Jackass Party' and the 'unwieldy, stompy party', and there are also the 'I'm on my own party', 'the soggy leaf party' and 'taste the rainbow party'.
Fig- Each one this year is offering us something new! We can have an old white guy...
Frag-Not so new there!
Fig-We can have ones that are sponsored by massive corporations
Frag-Nope, try again.
Fig-How about someone who is gonna stand up for the people?
Frag-Oh they'll stand alright. Behind every podium until one of them wins this round of musical chairs.
Fig-Do any of them actually do anything?
Frag-Not really. But the democratic process is important. It is what separates us from warlords and dictators. We still have a small voice. Not much of one, kinda like a mouse squeaking into the wind, but a voice none the less.
Fig- Sounds like we need a megaphone.
Frag-That we do.
