"You want to know about voting. I'm here to tell you about voting. Imagine you're locked in a huge underground nightclub filled with sinners, whores, freaks and unnameable things that rape pit bulls for fun. And you ain't allowed out until you all vote on what you're going to do tonight. You like to put your feet up and watch "Republican Party Reservation". They like to have sex with normal people using knives, guns and brand-new sexual organs that you did not know existed. So you vote for television, and everyone else, as far as the eye can see, votes to fuck you with switchblades. That's voting. You're welcome."
-Spider Jerusalem, Transmetropolitan
Reading Transmetropolitan was one of the great influences in making choose journalism as a career. I often re-read the series during election years to remind myself why I am pissed off all the time. But despite the cynicism, I think we should still perform our civic duty.
Basically, Vote or don't fucking talk to me about politics.
