Making you believe there is no conspiracy is the biggest conspiracy of all. As for me, I’m voting for Kodos. But it doesn’t really matter. ---

I admit it. I’m a dupe. I work for the Vast World Conspiracy of Everything. It was I who voted, I who perpetrated these sham elections to fool the people of America. It was I who bought a house years ago, perpetrating the great real estate fraud. It was I who bought consumer products, the contributing not only to the great blight of consumerism, but to the environmental destruction of the Earth. It was I who used metal and wood products, thus contributing to the rape of the planet. It was I who consumed food, hastening the demise of wildlife. It was I who watched TV programs, thus encouraging the destruction of our society and the loosening of our morals. I have worked in IT, this helping to increase the inhuman rule of computers over man. I currently work in Security, helping the fascist authoritarians to control the masses. I bear Guilt, because I have done all these things, because I am all these things that we the people despise. I bear Guilt, and I alone am responsible for my actions, and my being. 🙂 ---

It’s not a hoax. It’s a reconstruction, and everybody admits it’s a reconstruction. ---

A hoax in what sense? There’s so many nutty, completely unfounded ways one could think of the election as a “hoax” that it’s hard to properly mock it without explanation. ---

The election is not a hoax. It is however irrelevant since W is going to declare martial law and stay on as dictator ---

Listen fools. Not only is this election a hoax, but “Obama” is not even a natural-born citizen. In fact he’s not a citizen of anything, anywhere. My sources make it impossible to believe he is anything but an advanced _cybernetic avabot_, created using russian and arabic technology. His internal machinery is being remotely controlled through several terrorist organizations that will pull the trigger to the large package of C-4 buried somewhere in his colon, on the day of its inauguration. ---

That’s preposterous! To what end, getting Joe Biden in place as President? Ah, the terrorists paid for his Botox and train tickets, now I get it. He’s in debt to them. You forgot to mention Obama-bot’s hypno-ray. ---

Yes, precisely. Don’t you see what a blow it will be for democracy on the whole? And the hypno-ray the Obamabot employs is only the tip of the iceberg. Besides its abilities for mind-control, it can also use its microwave las-- you know what? I fear I’ve already said too much. There’s a strange van outside my window. Pray for me. ---

Oh dear god. I fear this is the end. I’ve snuck a photo of the [van](http://www.imbusion.com/day/ups.jpg) in question. It’s dropping of very suspicious looking packages to several houses on my street. Most of these houses have campaign signs. I dare not call the police, as they are but a cog in this vast conspiracy. I await the inevitable horror. Alone… So, alone… ---

They died of typhus, in spite of the government’s valiant efforts to erradicate the offending typhus-causing lice with boatloads of Zyclon B. Sadly, their intent was merely to exterminate all the **lice** on their clothing, but they forgot to have the voters remove their clothes first :smack:.
