re: #219 lawhawk
Actually, the election reminds me of Bart v. Lisa Simpson. The nation (school) voted for Bart because he was a literal bomb thrower (slingshot) who couldn’t be bothered with details or facts, but had one-liners everyone remembers.
Lisa is the girl who knows everything - the ins and outs of policy and politics, and gets derided and chastised.
More absestoes! That was actually Bart and Martin tho.
