Don't be daft, our leaders would never lie to us
That would be downright unstatesmanlike
Posted by: teigan | Wednesday, 18 October 2006 at 05:55 PM
Besides, we voted for them
So they must be acting in our best interests
S'just logical, innit

More like Democrazy!
I'm seriously debating whether or not I should actually post this really bad comment...
Comtemplating...
...Mulling over....

Well, I'm glad you did. It started out great, then just got better as it went along

Ah... Ahhh.. AH-CHOO!!!
Ugh.. uh.. man.. sorry I sneezed (gulp) ... I'm allergic to bullshit (wipes nose.)

No but seriously US isn't a (direct) democracy by definition you're right. But that would be nuts.
Someone should pour carmel and nugget over it and plop it in front of a grocery store.
(cuz that's where they sell nuts.)
