In Light Syrup

Continuing "The Most Absurdist Coverage of the Election on the Internet" (TM, All Rights Reserved), we have this late breaking news. The color Yellow has begun to distance itself from President Bush, saying, "I maybe met with President Bush one or two times in the course of business, but we were hardly close. And anyway President Bush often leant support to my opponent, Burnt Umber."

Meanwhile Krugman wrote a column about the glory of America.
I always get a little choked up when I go to the local school to cast my vote. The humbleness of the surroundings only emphasizes the majesty of the process: this is democracy, America's great gift to the world, in action.

But over the last few days I've been seeing pictures from Florida that are even more majestic. They show long lines of voters, snaking through buildings and on down the sidewalk: citizens patiently waiting to do their civic duty. Those people still believe in American democracy; and because they do, so do I.
You know sometimes it's hard to believe that the Democrats are the party of people who hate America. But then you read the calm wisdom of David Horowitz. "John Kerry, Michael Moore, the New York Times and CNN are getting Americans killed in Iraq and risking a terrorist catastrophe here at home, because of their pathological hatred of George Bush." Mr. Horowitz doesn't really explain how we are getting Americans killed, but I suppose you just have be on Mr. Horowitz's wavelength for it to all make sense.

Oh and we have this response from Wheat (the color not the grain), spokesman for the Burnt Umber Camp. In his words, "The Suns not Yellow it's Chicken!" So there you go.
