And yes, I mean that sarcastically.

http://carlyfailorina.com/ (paid for by the California Democratic Party).  What more is there to say?

Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of Carly Fiorina, who to all practical purposes single-handedly destroyed Hewlett-Packard (with only minimal assistance from her interim predecessor Richard Hackborn, whom you've probably never heard of).  But this is a new low in pettiness in politics.  What's the next step?  Will the parties start publicly calling each other's candidates poopyheads?  Will the candidates themselves start flicking boogers at their opponents in televised debates?

Dear Democratic and Republican Parties:

Please to hurry up and finish self-destructing, so that the rest of us can pick up the pieces and get on with America.  KTHXBAI.

Political parties are like sled dog teams. There's the alpha dog, who's main agenda is to retain power, the wild ones who care more about winning than policy, and then the rank-and-file who try to hold it together for the sake of policy.

The problem is that they're all dogs.

And, unless you're the lead dog, the view is always the same . . .

Except, "who's" should be "whose." :P

Except sled dogs are friendly (to humans).
