I imagine an alternate world in which Rudolph Hess landed in England in 1940, wearing his Nazi uniform, and the British people rose up and threw out Winston Churchill and elected Hess as Prime Minister.

That’s pretty much what the US did in 2008.

A very large percentage of our population has been convinced that they can show they're both clever and virtuous by voting for leaders who really want them dead.

It’s really true.

It’s like someone in a bad part of town, at 1 AM, walking down the sidewalk, and noticing that up ahead there is a crowd of 8 black yutes. To turn around and go the other direction would be racist, right? You don’t want to be a racist, do you? So, of course, you mosey down the sidewalk and try to pass through the crowd of 8 yutes.

Who then beat your ass.

But, on the bright side, you’re not a racist.
