Editorial See other Editorial Articles Title: Great post by BluesDuke on LP Bad enough: The prospect of an Obama presidency. Sad enough: The only thing that can prevent it, apparently, is a McCain presidency. This is how we've come forward. From a confederation founded by such men as Washington, Madison, Morris, an Adams or three (although that buttinski John couldn't resist signing the grotesque first Alien and Sedition Act---nope, traducing the First Amendment didn't quite begin when Lame McCain and Rust Foolsgold wrote the campaign finance reform act and President Lips II---who'd huffed and puffed about its unconstitutionality aforehand, and rather pointedly, too---signed it---which pretty much put an end to his political career), to a nation reduced to choosing between a glib Carter-Clinton and a temperamental daddy who thinks his pets---all named Peeve (thank you, Mr. Safire)---deserve political resolution. Neither of whom we need but one of whom we're going to get. Which is why it won't matter a damn if I cast my vote for Groucho Marx, a) along the line of Artemus Ward's dictum that if we can't find a live man who amounts to anything, by all means let's have a first class corpse; b) surely he is Presidential material who said, "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and misapplying the wrong solutions"; and, c) if the dead can vote in Chicago, Connecticut, and (I have this from someone I met from that very state recently) Maryland, then I can vote for the dead, knowing my pick would probably be better than the live choices we've got now.
