There's a general election in progress...

...at the moment here in Ireland, and something is bothering me. This is what it is:

I remember being really young, and reading a Dredd strip where someone falls off a building, spraying his name on it letter by letter as he falls. It wasn't Unamerican Grafitti. What the jog was it?

My vote, by the way, hasn't made a blind bit of difference to the outcome, but now I am allowed to complain about the government.

I'm confused. An election? But I though Tony was Emperor of Europe? Are you sure?

Well, the Emperor does like to let the proles believe that they have some power. It was Unamerican Graffiti - Dredd catches Chopper and the Phantom trying to vandalise the Statue of Judgement. Chopper is arrested but the Phantom escapes by doing one last giant scrawl down the statue. The story is online somewhere in this site.

It's not, you know. In the story I'm thinking of, the scrawl artist falls over the space of a whole page of frames, and the letters are clearly legible. I thought it was Unamerican Graffiti, checked it, and it wasn't.
Oh yeah, and George Dubya Thick Violent Hick Bush is Tony's evil overlord, anyway. We are all in the grip of that nasty little buffoon across the Atlantic who wasn't even properly elected.

Looks like I was talking bollocks again.

Anyway, Duhyah is really a pawn of the New World Order/ Little grey men/ The King of England/ the NRA/ Giant lizard people/ Scojo.

In the Dredd story introducing Presidenbt Booth he's the image of Dubya. Scary.

Forget the war on terror, it's practically over: New ideas like Cuba developing biological weapons are just more of G. Dubya's attempts to instill a culture of dominance through violence through paranoia. America is the only country to have ever used the real weapons of mass destruction, ie. nuclear weapons, in their case on a country (Japan) that was already beaten but needed to be made an example of.
Don't believe the hype!

Be careful, young man.

If you rule the world, then everything's your fault.

Oooh there's a future shock in there somewhere...
