Political Progress…
As the nation points fingers of scorn at a poor teenage girl’s pregnancy, watches in anticipation as political candidates fling mud at each other with more zeal than a troupe of diarrhetic monkeys throw poop, and rant and rave over hollow, meaningless speeches intended to unite the masses, I sit at my computer doodling on Photoshop.
All of this political hullabaloo just makes me ill. What ever happened to integrity and compromise?
I know nobody is perfect. Everyone has skeletons in their closet, including the McCains and the Obamas. I have learned, especially as of late, that it’s important to forgive people of their faults. It’s a treacherous habit to hold someone’s past against them. Everyone should be given the opportunity to change and improve.
That doesn’t mean I have to vote for them though.
I mean, honestly, since when has democracy been a true false question? What ever happened to the good old multiple choice?
In protest to our broken democratic system of checks and balances, and in support of the UVU Colbert Room, I have designed this t-shirt. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to the UVU Colbert Room Fund until we reach our goal!
Help me spread the word by throwing a link to the CafePress store on your blog/website. Together we can make a difference… and get a few laughs along the way.

Good representation… Way to get a T-Shirt on Cafe Press. I found my ‘Hug a tree but shave your armpits’ there.

Saw this quote today and thought of this post.
“In America, through pressure of conformity, there is freedom of choice, but nothing to choose from.”
- Peter Ustinov, English actor & author (1921 – 2004)

In Ukraine, they actually have a “none of the above” box. I think it rocks.
