I can’t wait for December.

The media in the United States has had one focus for the last 12 months. It’s the upcoming presidential election in the fall. The problem is that we still have another 220 days until the election. We’ve suffered through the Republican primaries. And we still have over seven months of more pain? The worst part is that both of our major parties have not spent all of their money. They will use it to flood our lives with more ads for candidates between now and November 5.

Author disclaimer: This article is political satire. I do not have a political party. I only want to fight for the right to party and the Beastie Boys haven’t declared their candidacy this year.

Even if you vote or don’t vote, the average American feels like an unwitting participant in Milgram’s shock experiments.

How do I know this?

We have plenty of news stories that tell us so.
