Who will be out new President of the good ol' U.S. of A.?
Will Florida make a royal, embarrassing mess out of the election process?
Will the terrorists sabotage the election with threats and/or bloodshed?
Anyway, tonight's 7:00pm showing of The Simpsons was pretty damn fitting of the whole mudslinging, big promising deal that is an American election:
The episode was number 4F02, better known by its common title of Treehouse of Horror VII. This was originally aired back in October of '96, so the candidates are different then what we are dealing with in '04, but feel free to change the names and the issues for a more modern feel. I think the results will be the same. Oh, to get you up to speed ... Two aliens -- Kang and Kodos -- have kidnapped Bob Dole and Bill Clinton and through "bio-duplication" are now disguised as the two candidates.
Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, 73-year-old
candidate, Bob Dole.
Kang: Abortions for all.
[crowd boos]
Very well, no abortions for anyone.
[crowd boos]
Hmm... Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others.
[crowd cheers and waves miniature flags]
After the speech ~
Kang: Fooling these Earth voters is easier than expected.
Kodos: Yes. All they want to hear are bland pleasantries embellished by an occasional saxophone solo or infant kiss.
One week to go. I can't wait to vote.
