I swore that if this ever occurred, I would spend an hour forcibly vomiting.

I have come through on that vow.

If Bush and the Californa governor race didn't convince you of it, this here is proof positive that America has completed its descent into Hell. Our own political system has become a tool of amusement for its decedant citizens, blissfully oblivious to the fact that they are quickly and all too efficiently paving their own road to destruction.

This settles it...first chance I get, I'm moving to England.

sorry for being in the dark, but what exactly happened?
and yes, England is a much better place, so hurry up and get here!

They were discussing this idea 6 months ago, I believe. It's not like the 2-party system is mostly a joke anyhow (two rich guys claiming to be on your side). So you're going to move to a country with even more political parties, including the Monster Raving Loony Party (http://www32.brinkster.com/omrlp/home.asp)?

At least I won't be in a country where a man serving a double life sentence and a porn actress are running for office (something a coworker and I had been talking about earlier in the day...gods I wish I'd gotten the link from him.)

Besides, I could SO see myself siding with that party! ^_^

Heh, me too. I forget what sorts of candidates Britain has had, but Italy had a porn actress /in/ office.

Ye Gods in all the heavens....

I had hoped we had already reached the bottom of the barrel.
