Well, the presidential election is officially over (oh, if that could only be true—I’m so very tired of this three-year election process we’ve had this time around! And, I can only imagine that the next election cycle will start up sometime after November 4, 2008).
But, the good news is that both candidates can and should just call it a day and go on home. The race is over!
This news was verified this past end in New Brunswick, New Jersey. It seems that John McCain sped to the finish while Barack Obama was reluctant to leave the starting point.
The contest? Another primary? A general election? No. Nothing of the sort. This time, it was a race between two giant Madagascar hissing cockroaches! One named John McCain, the other name Barack Obama.
The roach race was part of the New Jersey Pest Management Association’s annual clinic and trade show. Organizers likened the race’s prediction success to that of Punxsutawney Phil on Groundhog Day.
Seems to me, if I were a giant hissing Madagascar cockroach, that I’d have a lot less interest in racing another cockroach in a mock presidential election and be more concerned about the pest management companies present at the meeting!
Maybe the winning cockroach was promised not to be terminated! Or is that exterminated?
I’ll stop there and not make any political commentary on how the same kind of incentives might help in the real presidential contest.
