anyone saws this episode of south park?:

Stan tries to save money by depositing it into the bank but it "disappears" moments after, when the bank-owner deliberatly removes the money from his account instead of depositing it. A recession then hits the nation and South Park. Randy explains to Stan that the economy is failing due to people spending their money on luxuries. Ironically, he continues his tirade while making himself a margarita in a Margaritaville-brand mixer, the noise of which drowns out his voice.

As a subplot, Stan spends most of the episode trying to return the aforementioned Margaritaville mixer. The trendy retailer Sur La Table will not accept the return because it was bought on a payment plan. He tries to find out to whom he can return it, each person saying the debt has been packaged and sold to someone else (much like real-life mortgage-backed securities). Eventually he goes all the way to the United States Treasury, where a group of associates "consult the charts" and tell him the mixer is worth $90 trillion

actually what he really says is:

Stan: I want to return this Margaritaville! My dad bought it on a payment plan set up by a finance company that got investors from Wall Street who combined it into securities sold to the banks who transferred it to you!

Treasurer: Oh, that makes sense.

Stan: GAH!




and the Jersey shore one had me rolling for 30 minutes as well. But anyway does this sound familiar? Any president to vote for who will try and change this horse shit? But until the nominees come forward, there is nothing we can do but guess. We know two people who will be nominated, Obama and Mitt Romney. But I'm not voting for either of those two fucks!

It's a representation of public opinion insomuch that it is the only public that has an opinion in how their government should be conducted. If you don't vote, then you don't really have an opinion, do you? It'd be like being asked what kind of pizza you have and thinking to yourself "Pepperoni", but never telling the person that it's what you want. What do you expect to get in such a case?

---

and what if you plan to vote for your pizza, and you want to vote for onions, or tomatoes, or peppers, or peperoni, and what you end up getting is the choice between an elected awful anchovy, or a piece of shit on top of your pie. Then should you vote for a shitty choice either way? Is that considered ignorant? To not vote when you don't like the nominated candidates? So it's less ignorant to vote for some completely moron because not voting makes you ignorant? It's like being in prison and having the choice to vote for either Crips or skin heads. And making a choice makes you less ignorant?



and honestly, more voters can't admit they have some left or right preference, and try and cover it up with some well researched I like the decisions they will make speech. Like Zappa, he is all about republican, he even claims good years with democrat presidents were because of strong republican controlled decisions in the senate and congress, and that bad years for republican presidents were because of strong democratic made decisions within the congress and senate. so hard
