Weekly Whack: Election 96
Election 96
November 10, 1996

This past Tuesday was Election Day throughout America. This year Election Day was especially important because, since this year was a leap year, there was a presidential election. Also this was the first general election that I was actually eligible to vote in, and unlike the majority of eligible voters, I actually did go out and vote. Thanks to those zany Australians and their secret ballot, I won't tell you who or what I voted for, but I will say that I wasn't overly displeased at the outcome. It's just that we have the same president, and relatively the same congress, so we're stuck with the same old shit for another few years. If it wasn't for Feff World, life in America would be a dull wasteland for everybody. Hopefully there will be some scandal or war to spice things up in the next couple years. Anyhoo, to spice things up right now, I have the results of some exit polls given on Election Day by some people I hired who had nothing better to do. If some of my statistics seem a little faulty, fear not, because I made them all up.
