In other, more political news: specifically, "how did Kerry get his purple heart?"

My answer: who the hell cares? I would elect a dead slug's brain stem in order to get Bush out of office. I mean, of course, if the election were legitimate. At least I've seen scientific proof that the slug would respond to external stimulus (apart from money), which our current president does not seem to do. In fact there are many ways in which a dead slug's brain stem would be a better representative of our great nation.

Already "W" has proved that intelligence and literacy are not prerequisite to hold this office, so I see nothing barring the dead slug's brain stem here.

Since the brain stem can only conduct simple electrical currents, we would need simply to determine which wavelengths represent "yes" and which "no" and then devise a system of presidential twenty questions from there. Although lengthy, this system would eventually lead to a concrete answer, unlike those of our present leader and his... advisors.

Anyways. Tired. To bed I go with apologies for the brief rant.

EDIT: Slugs don't have friggin brain stems! What the hell am I thinking? God I'm tired. Why am I awake?
