California dreaming (South Park style) - Page 2

Here's the 60s perspective:

John Hanley, head of the San Francisco Local 798 firefighters union, drew cheers as he shouted: "So help me, you touch my daughter, and you are in deep trouble, young man."

"The fireman is very magical. Rub his helmut and he spits in your eye."
--Eric Cartman

The estimated turnout — including 2.1 million absentee voters who already have cast their ballots — would be 30 percent higher than the 7.7 million who voted 11 months ago in the 2002 election, when Davis was re-elected, said Mark DiCamillo, director of the Field Poll. Field issued the projection Monday.

The boost in participation is likely to come from younger, occasional voters drawn to the polls by Republican actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and that could mean trouble for Davis, said DiCamillo.

So, what will happen?

Let me return once again to the prediction of the prophet, one year ago today:

Hopefully, the South Park Republicans will shatter the unfair stereotype and set the record straight. As Cartman would say, "That would be pretty sweet."

Yeah, it would. Or, to quote Cartman directly,

"Follow your dreams. You can meet your goals. I am living proof. Beefcake! BEEFCAKE!!!"

Hey, this South Park stuff is almost Jeffersonian!
