Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 13, 2016
Transcript:
Goat: What's all this, Rat? Rat: It's a voting booth that I set up for the presidential election. Goat: But it's just a brick wall. Rat: Yeah. You bang your head against it until you fall unconscious and miss the next four years. Rat: Look. Our first satisfied customer. Goat: Can I be next?

Where is this wall? I know many politicians that could really use it.

Well, Goat is a goat, after all, and thus particularly well equipped for voting… I mean banging his head against a wall.

This could be profitable. With about 146 million registered voters you’d be able to sell about 73 million.Just a thought – talk about voter turnout is misleading. In the 2012 election is has been reported that voter turnout was 57.5% but that’s based on eligible voters (~220 million). If you look at registered voters the turnout was about 86.2%

Well, I’m actually a lot more optimistic about who will win and what the next four years will be like———————within certain definable limits .

But it only works if your candidate wins.If the opposition candidate wins, you cannot be oblivious and without consciousness of the horrors of it all.You must suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.You have to be on the right side of the wall.

This one made me laugh out loud!Also, how can Rat guarantee that you’re knocked unconscious for the next four years? What if you wake up earlier? Or not at all?And if Rat is running for President, why is he discouraging voting?

Crap, Rat, vote first, complain later. It won’t be the perfect world, but there are MANY banking on the apathy of would-be voters. Vote today, and if you can, vote tomorrow, too.
