New Invention from Paco Enterprises

I regret that it probably won’t be available in time for this year’s general election, but I certainly hope to have the Magic Wand of Disenfranchisement ready for 2012. I plan to wave it over the following groups of voters:

1) People who need Michael Moore to tell them how to vote;

2) People who, given a clear choice between candidates, are genuinely undecided 24 hours before the polls open;

3) People who believe that a laughably clueless foreign policy dumb ass can be transformed overnight into Winston Churchill through the laying on of hands by Hollywood pea-brains and mothballed generals;

4) People who are under the impression that they’re electing a Wizard of Oz instead of a U.S. president

If you can think of any other deserving demographics, let me know and I’ll make the proper adjustments.

People who think that the '16 month withdrawal' from Iraq is a carefully crafted plan, vice a wild ass guess.

Anyone who still clings (bitterly?) to the plastic turkey meme...

Anyone who supports socialised medicine "because it's free!" (or similarly, who calls socialised healthcare "free healthcare." )

Can I also throw in, anyone who voted for John Edwards in the primaries? They really should lose their vote for that...

All foreigners who presume to tell Americans how to vote

All actors who know better than us on whom to dote

All washed up ex generals who tried to start world war 3

All Premiers who call elections during the Olympics festivity

You may put them on the list for they'll none of them be missed

(With profound and grovelling apologies to the shades of WS Gilbet and Sir Arthur Sullivan)

Splendid suggestions, one and all (and kudos to you, CAC, for the lyrics).

Pixies.

These are the people who demonstrate against US energy production via coal, oil, gas, nuclear; in fact, against any proven practical method.

They think the US can be powered by Pixie Dust.

Hey, I know. I met a few of them outside the US embassy in Ottawa recently and let them have a load of vituperation. (And yes, verbal abuse was involved - "you *rseholes")

BTW I now have a modern electric camera and the next time there are Pixies, or related Elves or Dwarfs remonstrating before the Ottawa USA Embassy, I'll take some pics. These people really are pathetic.


.... as opposed to a photochemical one.

Anyone --- anyone at all, though they be overwhelmingly, albeit nominally, female --- who has the gall to join Code Pink. The Code Pink harridans deserve to be rounded up and put in a comfy home, preferably in the far north, where they can shriek, pull their hair, and twirl like senseless dervishes for the rest of their lives.

Canadian: 'll see your Pixie Dust and raise you some Unobtanium. Unobtanium (or Unobtainium, alt. spelling) is the "alternative" stuff which will provide us with clean, cheap (or free!) energy and allow us to do away with nasty dirty coal, oil and gas. It will not only not *cost* us anything, it will *make* us heaps of money. All the while having absolutely no negative impact on the environment.

The slightly-more pseudoscientific brethren of the Pixies also believe that the only thing holding us back from a clean, green, prosperous Unobatanium-powered future is the cryptofascist neocon cabal of Big Oil & New World Order proponents who have a conspiracy going to keep Unobtanium from the public domain because they would rather go to Iraq and kill all the innocent people and steal their oil...

Unfortunately Wimpy had out-bid you by referring to "Ottawa". It's like saying "Washington, D.C.", but with meaning.

Every idiot who stops me to ask if I have a minute for the environment. However, asking them specific questions that aren't covered on their cheat sheet is fun. Their heads explode.
