STALKING THE WILD IDEAL

Democracy tastes like chicken...



Don't bury me; I'm not dead.

Nay...I merely dream. I dream of a truly bipartisan government. It's a bipartisan government populated by naked goth chicks, but hey, it's just a dream.

The likelihood of getting either "major" party to ever agree on anything is remote...but it gets you thinking: Surely, there is a way to please one party, while secretly giving the other party exactly what they want...right? Let's have a go, shall we?

Republicans, who think "bipartisan" means a straight-ticket Democrat who goes both ways, are convinced that liberals--who must clearly hate "their" country--love only three things: Abortion, Taxation, and Sodomy. Playing upon this perception, I have just the plan:

We'll tax abortion, and buttfuck anyone who disagrees.

Democrats, who think "diplomacy" means personally fellating each member of the UN, are convinced that conservatives--who must clearly hate "their" Constitution--love only three things: Oil, Cheap Labor, and Jesus. Working from this viewpoint, I've come up with this:

An annual benefit for Christian missions in Iraq, featuring oil-wrestling nuns, and catered by immigrants, brought over on Dubya's generous "Work-For-Tacos" plan.

You know, there has to be a million of these... Suggestions, anyone? We can make this work!
