Heh.
After careful consideration of MY three favorite candidates (General Zod, Darth Vader, and Cthulhu), I’ve decided to go with Cthulhu in 2012.
General Zod is exceptionally intelligent, and has a solid military background, but he does a certain arrogance about him-a disdain for the average joe; Darth Vader has proven himself time and time again to be not only a take-charge leader (Order 66) and personally courageous (the Battle of Yavin), but I believe he sometimes lets his emotions cloud his judgment (turning to the Dark Side of the Force, killing his boss and Master).
Cthulhu on the other hand has simply promised that if you vote for him (and worship him, and dance and slay around idol-topped monoliths in lonely places) that he will eat you first when he moves the nations capitol from Washington D.C. to R’lyeh. And seeing as how typically, most elections really are “voting for the lesser of two evils” as your bumpersticker aptly put it, might as well vote for the greatest evil of them all. Face it; Cthulhu is so evil, he makes the Devil himself look a Sunday-school teacher from small-town Nebraska.
And I must admit, lately I’ve been having the damnedest dreams. Places where the geometry’s all wrong, shifting colors, atonal music piping down from those vast empty places between the stars, that sort of thing.
Cthulhu 2012!! Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!!
