And So It Begins...

I thought of a ton of cute catch phrases this post-Election Day morning, as I stared with bloodshot eyes at the news of a completely Republican government:

"Teach a man to vote . . . and you're obviously not in Florida."
"It's not a recession, it's a chance to say 'I told you so'."
"People aren't stupid. They're suicidal."
"When I said, 'Vote Dumbass' I didn't mean you."
"If you let morons vote, they will."
And my personal favorite: "Crap."

Welcome to the 50's. That's the last time a Republican president had a Republican House and Senate. Wither goest thou, Joe McCarthy?

Which segues right into this lovely little story from the files of Ashcroft and Co. Enjoy. And be a little more careful when you take out that Bradbury book next time.
