Apparently in Wisconsin you can just waltz in and register ON election days, as long as you have a Social Security Number (it’s like a national ID number but more useless, fyi for other readers not in the US). In 2004 when I heard about that, I wanted to have a go, but my American friends pointed out that I could get my ass deported if they caught me…

Ooh ooh almost forgot:

I dont know why but I kinda think thats how 'big willy' would be in real life, and the expressions bernie captures of him are brilliant, really bringing the character to life. As for euphomisms, Im probably even worse than that, which makes it all the more funnier to read. Screw america, god bless you Bernie, you are the greatest!

you see, Abe’s not smart enough to check up on the issues or what each canidate says they’ll do. He’ll just pick randomly or of spite. I love the idea that voting can be used to get back at someone.

No no, even a legal alien can not vote in national elections. You have to be nationalised to be able to do that.

Also, after all the "Abe is so stupid" comments, I thought "I’m gonna vote agains whoever you vote for, so it’s like we never voted at all" was pretty smart…

As Bill would no doubt say:

"pushy politicians" can never be "redundant"…

Also, if Abe has the right to vote, he can not be an alien, right?
