I Will Now Announce My Endorsement for the Next President of the United States

Remember the '90s? Hammer Time? The Internet? Our Little Conflict with Saddam and the Iraqis? Ken Starr? Sure, we all our had our dehabilitating spasms of dread now and then, but who among us in November 2000 expected the next eight years to make the Nixon administration seem quaint?

Which is to say, there's obviously no choice between McCain and... Who's that other guy? That big phony Hollywood celebrity who is clearly NOT ready to LEAD... (us deeper into HELL!!!!) 

I'd really like to see Obama and the current President of the United States wincing next to each other in some awkward photo op. Not going to happen! But I hear there will be three debates, and I still have some (perhaps misguided) faith in voters to recognize a reasonable guy when they see one. And yes, Brokaw's a tool, but Gwen Ifill's all right.

Yet... Speaking on behalf of the "activist base" of the Democratic party -- or, to paraphrase Stewart, "the people who care enough to get involved" -- President Obama is now formally on notice re this tacking right shit. Obviously I'll vote for him, but should he actually manage to win the general and persist in accommodating these corrupt lunatics on issues like offshore drilling, etc., I'll be his own worst enemy. At the very least I'll rant occasionally on my blog.

I don't care if he's the first periwinkle president. It's kind of a critical moment for humanity. Or, if not for humanity, for a growing number of people (even people like me!) who won't be able to afford little things like dignity if things keep going the way they're going.

And again, I cannot emphasize enough that I've consulted with the activist base on this and am speaking for everyone.

WOAH. Slam Dunk. You know right now The Man is all like, "Damn, FWYT just gave us the dick in the eye!" Better get some people on that concession speech, Old Man McCain! And Barry... FWYT is right as rain. Do what you have to do to win, but if you don't start cleaning up this administration's foul mess STAT on Day One, we're all going to actively harass the shit out of you.
