Because even piranhas deserve a healthy choice

As I did round this time in the election year 2008, so in 2012 do I again endorse the immediate dissolution, in vinegar, of the voting-eligible People of the United States of America, and their replacement at the ballot boxes this November by 230 million adult specimens of wild salmon, seaweed, kale, sweet potato, avocado, Fuyu persimmons, active yogurt cultures, lentils, bean sprouts, green tea and wheat bran.
