Quimby2000

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the a-candidate-worth-voting-for dept.

cote finally sent us a candidate worth voting for: Joseph Fitzpatrick Fitzgerald Fitzhenry Quimby! He's anti gun control (but pro bullet control) and his tax plan is perfect! (With our first week of election coverage finally wrapped up, I needed the laugh).

  1. Gun Control...Bah! by TheCaptain · · Score: 4

    My idea of gun control is hitting what I intended to.

    I posted this in the "Simpsons Rant" thread, but I thought I'd put it in the main discussion thread too.

    The real reason for the success of the Simpsons is not Matt Groening, but a writer from the Lampoon, Harvard's in-house humor magazine. Sam Simon, a producer, liked George Meyer's Army Man enough that he tracked Meyer down and hired the whole staff onto the Simpsons.

    The rest is history.

    You can read a nice long story about it here:

    1961 - Joe Quimby Sr. mysteriously disappears. His body is found a decade later, marooned in a sand trap in the back nine.

    and then...

    1978 - Joe Quimby reluctantly graduates from college, after his father threatens to take away his girlfriend.

    I guess that Joe Quimby Sr. was a very influential man.

  4. Bah!.. by deglr6328 · · Score: 4

    It makes no difference who you vote for. Either way, this planet is doomed.... DOOMED!

    That said, I'm voting for Kodos.

    Sounds a lot like Duke, the character from Doonesbury. And I quote, regarding the surplus, "The Republicans worry that it'll all disappear in some pork barrel social program; I worry that it will literally disappear. Vanish. If you put it in the stock market or in some bank, it's just a few bytes of memory on a computer, vulnerable to hacker-terrorists, or worse, daytraders, who can take down our economy in ten seconds of panic...I think we'd better take a good hunk of it, and put it somewhere safe. Change it into small bills, drop it in a bunch of titanium cases, and bury it in strategic sites throughout the 50 states. The feeling of security we'll have knowing that we've got real cash if we need it, will more than compensate for the lost interest."
