What's Going on in Fantasy Land Right Now?
Apparently, Right Wing News thinks that a vote can swing an election. But, in what must have something to do relativity or quantam physics or something, it only makes a difference if you vote for a major party candidate. I would think, of course, that my one vote, out of the thousands and thousands of votes for a given election, wouldn't matter regardless of which party I voted for*. But see, I don't work for that bastion of nobel laureates at Human Events. Apparently, Human Events is like a black hole: the laws of statistics (and the virtue of rationality) break down in its presence.
* It should be self-evident that a single vote doesn't make much of a difference, which is why voting isn't predicated on rationality; it can only be grounded in the citizen's duty. The upshot is that one actually is wasting one's time if one doesn't vote for the best candidate regardless of party.
Imagine that, though: to write that crap, he actually had to walk over to a typewriter, think of something stupid, and then commit it to writing.
Amazing.
