Satirical Simpletons

For anyone with an I.Q. above room temperature, it is blindingly obvious that this website is intended as political satire. The URL of the site is "fixavote," and some of their advertised election services are "real-time voter correction" and "enhanced retrospective tallying." Pretty obviously satirical, right?

Yet in an interview with the site's author, found within this article, he said:

"...that he had been contacted by representatives of about 30 political campaigns to date. 'They're asking me the details of a specific geographic location and what I can do to enhance the election for them,' he said."

Those are the sort of ignorant, ethically-impaired cretins clamoring for--and being elected to--public office in the modern United States. Mr. Smith doesn't even have to go to Washington anymore; the corruption is right on the surface, clearly visible to all. And every last one of them will swear that they aren't corrupt; it's those other people who are on the take.

We are so screwed.
