Hiding in plain sight..

the question most asked these days. where have we been? you could call it regrouping, but that would suggest we were a group once and somedays we aren't too sure. anyway, mccain making an ass of himself at the "don't ask, don't tell" hearings seemed like a good enough occasion to shrug off the new years introspectfest and come out of the closet..

wait, that doesn't sound right.

Hey, kids, Lunch The Box here...

Well, it's almost over. 

tomorrow the fun ends and the real problem begins. the longest election season in the history of this country's democracy comes to a close. even undecided voters have to pull their reluctant heads out of their saggy asses, drag themselves down to the polling place and apply pedal to metal, so we can start sorting this mess out. and don't fool yourselves, kids, it will be a mess. besides the usual whining and complaining, there'll be a whole lotta voter fraud accusations. if it's close, there will be legal action. if it's not close, it may just be simple outraged violence. here at baconics, we're optimistic a remedy will present itself. we're just not too hopeful of it healing properties. there are a lot of angry people out there. and if things don't start going their way soon..

well, it could get super interesting super fast. really, just super.

but for now, we only have one last shot. over the weekend the mccain people sent out a simple chart to help people compare the two candidates and where they stand on the issues. it was simply, easy to read, and entirely lopsided. we took a few moments to make corrections and sent it out again. it won't really change anybody's mind...

..but neither did the original.

America needs new pipes...

(click image for larger view)

how pathetic is america? judging from the media sensation that is joe the plumber...

...fairly pathetic.

of course, we're probably wrong to blame america first (this is, after all, our way). 

we should probably blame the media for not ignoring john mccain when he brought him up in the first place. but, hey, what else are they going to talk about? there really isn't 24 hours worth of relevant news, so there's got to be filler. unfortunately there is so much filler that things back up and that's when you really need a plumber. 

                except joe isn't really a plumber...

..which brings us back to..

..never mind.
