I know this is a very serious forum where we discuss very important topics in a very important way, but I thought maybe it would be okay to bring some humor that doesn’t involve the inadvertent words of one of the candidates. [If Politicians Ran On Issues the Internet Cares About](http://www.cracked.com/photoplasty_303_if-politicians-ran-issues-internet-cares-about/) They got me right off the bat with #25, and they just kept rolling. #3 was the one that made me Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff down there tho. Mods: if this is out of place, my apologies and (of course) feel free to move it. ---

That was one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen. And I don’t give a shit if you play on my lawn. ---

Heh heh heh. “The internet” is that entity which only cares about games and sci fi and its own technology. It’s not like it’s a global medium of communication or anything. Welcome to 1994. ---

Wow, everyone is so serious and cranky tonight. It was a bit of amusement. I didn’t throw stuff into a quarry or anything, but “Newt tells Bachman TITS or GTFO.” was worth the 30 seconds of my life that it took to look at it. ---

I dunno about anyone else, but I’m so dressing up as Pirate Hillary Clinton for next Halloween. I won’t even care that it’s not topical or in any sort of context. That sort of awesome should not be hidden. ---

I see no candidates with the courage to take a stand on which is the Best Pony, so to the moon with all of them. ---

They needn’t say it because it’s Rainbow Dash, the one with the 'tude. DUH!\* - - FTR, I only know this because of my daughters, who keep their fingers on the pulse of Popular Culture. Though they were surprised I knew the first couple bars of the theme song. As if I hadn’t been unemployed and with a neighbor’s daughter on my lap and one of my own around my ankles in 1986. ---

I didn’t throw stuff into a quarry or anything, but “Newt tells Bachman TITS or GTFO.” was worth the 30 seconds of my life that it took to look at it.
