Post-Election Plans

October 22nd, 2008 by Oskar Kennedy

No, this isn’t me making plans to emigrate if the Democrats manage to lose again. If that happens, I’m going to stay here and start a think-tank to recommend sentencing guidelines for when abortion is illegal. (We’ll start with a recommended sentence of a hug and a cup of coffee, and see where that gets us.)

Instead, I’m wondering what to write about once the election is over.* Lately, I’ve turned into an all-rage-all-the-time, anti-Palin blogger. It’s not exactly what I’d planned when I relaunched the site, but venting my political bile has been a relatively easy (and mildly satisfying) way to keep to a regular update schedule.

So I’m wondering. Eventually, the votes will be cast, the lawsuits will be filed and the Supreme Court will pick the president. Once the rioting election is over, should I try to get back to writing about faith, skepticism and rational thinking? Should I keep on swiping at the low-hanging fruit of stupidity in politics? Or should I pitch it all in the bin and start writing Harry Potter/Twilight crossover slashfic? If you have an opinion, or a better idea that I didn’t think of, please feel free to leave it in the comments.

* Please note, this only really applies if Barack Obama is elected. If McCain and Palin win, every update until 2012 will consist of the word “fuck,” repeated 400 times.

spread the panic!
