ebnelson

WAIT,â€¦ it just occurred to me that you may be a ya-,.. er I mean, an American. In which case your system isnâ€™t really Representative Democracy, itâ€™s more like Business Democracy. Looks a lot like the former, but once the representatives are in the house, they sell their vote to the business that pays the most for it. NOW THATâ€™S AMERICA.
(not that ours is any better, as I just pointed out)

*stands for the anthem*

Bombs bursting, Rockets redding,â€¦ geez, you guys do anything other than shoot at stuff down there?

If youâ€™re not a yan- er I mean, an AMERICAN, please disregard this terribly nasty note.
