US Election

Please please please for the love of Mike let it be over!!!!
I don't mean to be disrespectful but for fuck's sake they've been campaigning since Bush got re-elected.
Even you guy's over there must be tired of the bullshit by now :D

I am lovin it! I am glued to my TV whenever the US election battle is on it. There are loads of really good history programmes and current affairs programmes, all focusing on the States.

we are tired, but . . . only 5 more days.

I voted today. It's kind of exciting to vote in a prez election.

Mike?

What's he running for?

What? There's an election?

I'd be willing to appoint a King if it meant no more elections.

CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MUCH MONEY WE WASTE EVERY YEAR ON THIS BULLSHIT!?!?!

But who would you appoint?

as king? rosie o'donnell, of course

Paul Emery Washington

Um yes, it's true--it's all bullshit.

But WASTE? I use to make a comfortable living off of this election stuff, and I did manage to put some of it to very good use, thankyouverymuch.

Oh. I don't have a song, sorry.

We have a Queen, but we still have elections. Ours don't cost anything near the same amount of course, but then I suppose you'd have to look at it per capita to be sure. Our national election is probably only the equivilant of a state election in US terms. Just more important of course, being the greatest country in the world (YMMV).

Anyhow, we are all tired of it as well.

I've decided I'm going to run for president next term. I'm already working on my campaign.

My slogan is going to be "I'm pro-choice and pro-life. Aren't you?"

That should get me all the votes, but people's priorities change, so I'll need a few more.

I'll vote for ya.

I want to replace all of Congress with those fireman guys on the mobile phone commercial.

And I'm going to run under my Cellar name. That way I won't have to endure all of those background checks, the invasion of privacy, talk shows, and so on.

some candidates and their platforms

America is getting ready to vote in a presidential election next Tuesday, but forget that -- I've got something far more important to life on earth as we know it today: A poll for your choices for the Science Fiction B-Movie Hall of Fame! Two weeks ago I asked you all to nominate some of your cheesy favorite science fiction flicks of all time, and you came through, with over a hundred comments with suggestions. From these I've culled ten nominees, based on (in no particular order) frequency of nomination, enthusiasm for the movie by the nominator, and fundamental cheesiness of the film involved.

I tried to steer away from movies that, while cheesy, were also major productions -- for example, 1983's Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone, while undeniably cheesetastic, was also relatively big-budget and heavily promoted by Columbia Pictures. And since I limited the poll list to ten movies, I couldn't pick everything for this round. But don't worry. If this goes off well, we'll do this again.

And now: Your nominees -- and selected comments from the nominators. Read the reasons, and then cast your vote. The two movies which receive the highest number of votes will ascend to the Science Fiction B-Movie Hall of Fame. I'm sure their filmmakers would be proud. In chronological order:
