Upcoming Midterm Elections
Polls suggest it’s looking like the Midterms could see significant balance-of-power changes in Bizarreville. The Crazy Lunatic Spendaholic (CLS) party is assured to gain seats at the expense of the Doing Nothing is Better than Doing Anything (DNDA) party, although the numbers shift daily due to the wavering of the Undecided But Still Apathetic segment of the voting population. Some Undecideds have mounted a campaign to just write-in the name of “Bill Smith” for any and all open election slots. If Bill should win, they vow to find a Bill Smith somewhere out there to fill the job. He may be Plumber Bill, or Grocery Store Bill, or Garbage Man Bill, but he is bound to be no worse than the incumbents, so they say.
Officials in both major parties have urged voters to not waste their votes on such a hare-brain scheme. A survey of likely Undecided voters have said that it’s probably high time for a hare-brain like Garbage Man Bill…whoever he may be.
