It grieves and saddens me no end that the fate of our country, as well as that of all of the so-called “free world” (that’s funny), lies in the hands of some people who have been called the “undecideds.” It seems to me that these “undecideds” are people who profess that they just can’t decide whether to vote for a complete incompetent who, as it happens, is white – or a thoughtful, intelligent, proven, calm person, who, to their chagrin, is “a black.”
It also seems to me that these “undecideds” are people who, if you hit them over the head with a heavy mallet, couldn’t decide whether you hit them over the head with a heavy mallet or not – unless you were “a black.”

Barking in the Dark has uncovered a sample multiple choice questionnaire sent by the Republican Party to these “undecideds.”
Q. Would you rather be hit over the head with a heavy mallet by a vague white man, or a smart black?
a. It doesn’t matter.
b. I’m thinking it over.
c. What does vague mean?
d. The white man.
Q. Who, in your opinion, would be more likely to score a direct hit onto your skull with a heavy mallet – a rich out-of touch white man, or a smart black?
a. This is an interesting question – I’ll have to give it some thought also.
b. Can I choose the heavy mallet?
c. Can I wear my trucker cap?
d. The white man.
Q. Would you consider being hit over the head with a heavy mallet more than one time?
a. If it didn’t hurt – I would.
b. How many times more?
c. What does consider mean?
d. If I was being hit over the head by a white man – why not?
Thank you for your participation in this exercise. People such as you are invaluable assets to The Republican Party.
So…there you have it friends. We can all rest comfortably in our beds at night secure in the knowledge that these “undecideds” will make the right choice in the voting booth this November. After all, when we see panels of these “undecideds” on our TV sets we can clearly see the huge effort they are putting in to make this very tough choice. Their deeply furrowed brows crown the puzzled looks on their faces. Faces that reveal the strain they are experiencing in deciphering this unfathomable enigma. If only there were some clear–cut differences between the two candidates why, then of course they could make this difficult choice…but, alas – there aren’t any.
Well – there is this one big difference.

Great piece, filled (as always) with your dry wit and yet to the point. Just a quick question: Does Acme still produce those large anvils? Not sure if a mallet will do the job

Posted by Rachael Black | October 30, 2012, 11:01 amDoes it have to be a mallet? Can it be a heavy steel frying pan?
And can the white guy be an unparalleled idiot?
Because if so, I’d still have to go with NO.
Posted by El Guapo | October 8, 2012, 7:58 amyes. it can be a heavy steel OR cast iron frying pan – as long as it’s a large one. thanks EG. continue…

What truly amazes me is that people will vote against their best interest.

Posted by Anonymous | October 8, 2012, 1:46 pmOh, I’m not going anywhere. But not sure what I’d do when it comes to politics. Either extreme, I’m sure. Disappear politically; or become even more active than ever focusing on getting Romney out.
Posted by Michelle at Motley News | October 8, 2012, 2:09 pmI will say this much about the upcoming elections, if Mr Mitt becomes president, I am taking an early retirement, and will stay drunk in my new hometown (NOLA)..
Posted by free penny press | October 1, 2012, 4:59 pmlove NOLA Lynne… no better town to be drunk in – anywhere in USA. do hope you will not be retiring tho’. thanks for the comment. continue…
