Most people see the presidency as this huge recording studio where you can turn the bass down on interest rates and the treble of employment goes way up. All you need is a good sound engineer and our single will come out perfect.

All you need is a good sound engineer and our single will come out perfect. I see government more like a broken school bus with no speedometer that shoots poison arrows out the front, tornadoes of broken glass out the back, and streams of scalding shit out the sides. All you can hope is that the president drives it as little as possible. Bush put the pedal to the metal and even let his friends drive so we got covered in all kinds of horribleness. Clinton seemed to be asleep at the wheel most of the time (Thank God). Alls what I’m saying is: Who knows which one of these clowns is going to drive the bus the least?

i knew Bolshevik couture was back!
cock the vote
shut up you old coke head
Fuck you for saying “alls.” I know you were joking but still, fuck you. Keep up the good work.
What depresses me more than who gets elected is that everyone seems to believe the fairytale–that voting makes a huge difference. Really, when we’re only given two choices–both of whom are bought and paid for by big business–how big of a difference is either one going to make? All the fervor surrounding Obama is creepy. It’s like rooting for your favorite sports team rather than electing a president.
Voting on propositions that change state constitutions is one thing, voting for officials is another. But until we stop behaving like little unsupervised children, we will continue to ask the government to give us spankings when we misbehave. Fucking pathetic little babies!
Wait, is Gavin a vegetarian? What about that article he posted about vegetarianism being foolish? And what about that video of him eating Chinese food with David Cross? And if he doesn’t eat meat, how did he obtain that beefy physique?
OK, I get it…You don’t think that Barack Obama or John McCain would make a good president. Your point about not voting would work if your choices were limited to 2 parties. Although America is basically a two-party system based on elections since 1865, there ARE other parties. Admittedly none of these parties has a viable chance of winning the current election, but maybe if people started to support them they would have a chance in future elections. Regardless of your political stance there is a party that will closely match it (Libertarian party, Gavin) and the more people that vote for them instead of saying “They’ll never win” the more chance they have of making a difference. If you don’t want to vote for anyone, spoil your ballot. Voting for a third party candidate or spoiling a ballot says that you care about what happens and have a legitimate problem with the major parties’ candidates. Not voting at all says that you were too drunk/lazy/high to get of the couch for a friggin’ afternoon.
Gavin is obvs a libertarian, he sweats John Stossel. But anyway, can Canadians vote? Alls I’m saying is, yes, the Obama worship is out of control (in NYC esp) but he’s all we got.
fartz,
Be glad you live in a state where supporting Obama is at least socially acceptable. Here in TN he is a Muslim terrorist and I should be crucified for voting for him.
Wait — is this some sort of arch joke I’m not hip enough to get? Or are you actually dumb enough to believe this shit? If you truly think this you need to be sent to some place like Zimbabwe where your vote really doesn’t matter.
this editorial is clearly just a ruse for Gavin to post that retarded of himself
fuckin hot in uniform gav… @@@@@@@@@@O almost a ten
Danielle obviously has an exaggerated sense of her own victimization and suffering, for the love of the sweet bleeding mulatto Jesus.
One word, Danielle: Swaziland.
I think they actually still crucify people there.
Wikipedia about Swaziland: “Life expectancy at birth in Swaziland is little above 30 years.”
Jesus died at 33. You don’t even have to be crucified there! The 38% AIDS rate and prehistoric living conditions will get you.
Most great American music came from Tennessee. Shut the fuck up with your whining.
Fuck you! If you don’t vote you have NO RIGHT TO BITCH WHEN THINGS GO WRONG. I hope you become unemployed and broke.
Fuck off, ‘knuck.
gav´s supa hot LOL
Gavin wants you to not vote because you’re prolly a librul.
What does matter is the United States’ international image. Obama will improve how America is perceived because he is black and the majority of the world’s population wants him to be president, as based on the global poll over at The Economist. His honeymoon will not last forever, but he is the lesser of two evils (putting Palin a seventy-two year old heartbeat away from the most important job in the world is worrying, even if the Democrats control the Senate and Congress).
Obama is not the be-all, end-all politician that will solve everyone’s problems but we should know by now not to expect politicians to be our saviours. They are people, sometimes great (FDR, Churchill), sometimes not so much (Dubya, Chamberlain).
I agree that a two party system is antiquated but how exactly would an Independent president work with a Senate and Congress run by Democrats and Republicans?
Finally, an interesting footnote is that Obama is the first presidential candidate (in my young reckoning) to openly admit snorting cocaine and inhaling mary jane (unlike lamesauce Boomer Billy Clint).
Saviours = Badass Eastbay metal!
agreed. with gavin i mean.
who wants a ride on the short bus!? yay!
Bush never drove the bus dimwits. It was the CIA or the Pentagon or the World Bank. Obama’s just another pawn, anyway. The American Left died at Jonestown, Guyana, 1978, R.I.P. brainwashed hippies.
i eat poop all day long and i enjoy it very much. even on the bus.
my name is cunte$$a and i approve this message.
oh my g. WHO WROTE THAT!!??
613 what what
my GOD you are so fucking lame.
just stop trying to bring so much attention to your flimsy viewpoint. dont worry. you will forever be crucially cynical and groundbreakingly important to pop culture. ok? you are a big fat icon. are you happy? whatever you need to believe.
just keep showing us pictures of you dressing as a crusty, and SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THIS ALREADY. cause you are WRONG ABOUT ALL OF IT, AND ALL OF YOUR READERS KNOW IT! and the only “supporters” you will get are just trying to be cool and different and “with” you.
the more you try to push this shit on us the more insecure and irrelevant you appear.
For real. Do you people realize how fucking hard it is to suggest that voting is a demeaning and demoralizing sex act forced upon us by psychopaths in this day and age? People flip their shit! I haven’t been able to walk for more than a block without running into some fucking high and mighty baby boomer telling me to register (or face eternal damnation!). Right, Mr. “I smoked weed at woodstock,” things are really gonna change; you’re gonna get back into your $70,000 dollar luxury hybrid and call the cops on the shady looking Mexicans that, god forbid, found their way into your ‘family friendly’ neighborhood just like you do every fucking week and it doesn’t matter who is running because they are on your side, Mr. Baby Boom. You too Ms. Baby Boom. The pigs are on your side and no matter who you vote for they always will be, but because I refuse to choose who is going to fuck me harder I’m the lazy shithead? Right.
