Consider these improvements:<BR/><BR/>I learned many important things about our American government in middle school civics,,,, such as the schlurp that the American people don’t actually !choose! their President. <BR/><BR/>2) Invent a new tense. For the sake of this article, we'll conjugate the nouns (this is bound to impress the academics in the electoral "college").<BR/><BR/>I learned many important thingsed about our American govermenting in the middle school civicsed,,,, such as the schlurp that the American peopled don't actually !choose! their Presidentialing. <BR/><BR/>3) Finally, and this is most important, brevity is the soul of wit. Therefore, delete every third word (give or ...). Thus, we end up with this as our final draft:<BR/><BR/>I learned important thingsed about American govermenting the middle civicsed,,,, such the schlurp the American peopled n't actually !choose! their Presidentialing.<BR/><BR/>Raw perfectioned.!Wingnutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5410552181919703458.post-74139259849353926682008-07-24T00:15:00.000-05:002008-07-24T00:15:00.000-05:00Good stuff Jesster!! I love political satire - and there&#39;ll be no shortage of material for you, guaranteed :)<BR/><BR/>Being a non-yank I&#39;m not too sure what Electoral College is, but you sure nailed this one -<BR/><BR/>&quot;...as we can visibly see from the presidential campaign this summer—none of the presidential contenders are competent enough to rule a superpower in a dangerous and volatile and violent and WMD-infested world.&quot;<BR/><BR/>One has to ask - Is that the best America could come up with?! Then again, who in their right mind would want the job...<BR/><BR/>Interesting that Sid Meier, Bill Gates and &quot;I dunno&quot; are all tied in your poll. Poor old Obama &amp; McCain didn&#39;t even get a look in :(<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to more lethal concoctions from your lab :)funandgameshttp://www.squidoo.com/howtocreatesexyideasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5410552181919703458.post-78984373063420767022008-07-23T23:30:00.000-05:002008-07-23T23:30:00.000-05:00Yeah, i would have to agree with ya on this. I never did understand much about the electoral college and how it works growing up -- they portray it to be (my opinion) somewhat complicated. Then again, the U.S. government usually views things and governs their laws in deep shades of gray anyway.Nothing can be just simple and basic.
