It's that time of the year. Baseball season is over -- nothing to watch on ESPN3. Nights are stacked with homework and school plans. And the mailboxes are filled with wacky political ads. My favorite one so far speculates on how awful the world would be today if GM had been allowed to go bankrupt.

Uh, Earth to prez: GM did go bankrupt.

I think what central-planning really meant to say is "thanks for all the cash, taxpaying suckas!"

Let's see, there are also non-stop ads from Sherrod "Big Lie" Brown, Ohio's unreconstructed bolshevik museum-piece. And there are looped ads set to play at the start of every Minecraft video on Youtube -- something that makes me laugh all the time because I'm pretty sure I already know how Da Chimpz plan to vote. (I wish they had interest in math the way they have interest in Minecraft.)

Anyway, I eagerly await Steve's expressions of disgust over Glorious People's Revolution experiment our country is now eyeball-deep in. We've heard from Pravda -- they say everything is swell! Now we need to hear from Steve. Or from Bazzukajoe -- he almost certainly saw something ridiculous on I-95 recently.
