An excerpt I found in the "New Testament Book of Elections in Wartime"

"...And the brouhaha shall climax when the result for the election to find the man to preside over the united states of whatever-it-is is finally announced from a piece of paper with no hanging chads, whenever in time that shall be... until that moment, pundit shall draw sword against pundit... journo shall drink coffee against journo... ex-presider shall try to out-charm ex-presider... blogger shall fume madly in his darkened bedroom against blogger... and commenters (in blog-land) shall make up the new rule that what democracy ACTUALLY means is that if someone has a different opinion from you, especially if that opinion might not be the politically correct version of ideas, feel free to throw death threats, libellous insults and shit at that person in public instead of simply putting your own case quietly and calmly without your head exploding."
