Zippy's So Right! (This Time)

I don't much like the "Zippy the Pinhead" comic strip because it usually makes no sense at all. But this particular strip (at least in the last panel) made so much sense I thought I'd bring it to your attention. His point is that the only reason Democrats are able to raise so much money and get elected time after time is because of the "short attention span" of so many voters. Add to that the fact that most voters "pay no attention to politics" until a few months or weeks before an election that there's no way they can get the right information with which to vote intelligently. This accounts for the relative success of the DNC, except for short periods of sanity in which Republicans get elected. (Zippy, 8/7/07)
