The part of the essay that most describes the last election is when it is stated that lizards win elections. The question is "why do we vote for lizards?"
The answer is: "If we did not vote for a lizard, the wrong lizard might win."
The only hope we have is in the last two words of the essay: Don't panic.
The economy has been demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass.
And my advise to Obama: Go stick your head in a pig!
America is at that awkward stage.
It is too late to work within the system,
but too early to shoot the bastards.
