I Didn't Go to Do It

It occurs to me that this part of Gravytrain Industries is becoming a bit political.  Upon realizing this, my gut reaction was "Ew!  Yuck!  I don't want no political blog!  I ain't sleeping with Barbara Boxer!"  But then I thought, well so what?  I think a lot of what goes on in the political realm is foolish and sophomoric and, Hell, I'm smarter than your average civil servant so why not?  I mean, if the light's really going out on America,  I may as well get a couple of jokes off before whatsis name gets a second term / the sun explodes / the Earth self destructs / THEY return for The Reckoning.
