Quote of the day

The great jousting tournament that is Election Day draws nigh, the prize, the building you see behind me, Castle Congress.  But what side shall prevail in this epic electoral tilt?  Who shall control the future of 'Fortress America'?  Will we be, as the Republicans desire, a nation of  wealthy, heavily-armed white men, befouling the air and water in a ceaseless quest for profits, beholden to no laws but those of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ?  Or shall we instead embrace the Democrat's vision of a namby-pamby quasi-Socialist Republic with an all-homosexual army, flamboyantly defending a citizenry suckling at the foul teat of government welfare?  The choice is yours, fair maiden America, for the name of this feudal system is Democracy."  --Stephen Colbert, "The Colbert Report"
