Selecting a candidate
I am sorry we won't have a chance to vote for Vermin Supreme in South Carolina's Republican primary on Saturday, nor later in the year. He was on the ballot apparently only in New Hampshire. He campaigned on such issues as "mandatory tooth-brushing, zombie preparedness, and federal funding of time travel research so he can 'kill Hitler with my bare hands.'" He also was going "to give free ponies to all Americans." Considering all the inane political rhetoric we are exposed to in this primary season, Vermin's platform has some appeal. Oh, by the way, did I mention he is a Democrat?
