A bit of humor from The Stranger, Seattle's alternative paper.

They have a regular thing called "New Column!", a quarter page section usually reserved for silliness. Past "New Column!" bits have included letters from Jesus, political commentary from Mussolini and religious advice columns purportedly written by Pat Robertson and internationally famed local bigot, Ken Hutcherson.

This week's column points out how ugly the 2008 presidential campaign has already been and how, without a doubt, it will get worse.

Clearly, we're in for a four-and-half-month hurricane of bitterness and boundary-pushing tastelessness - and we better get used to it! To help acclimate readers to the new regime, here's a handy quiz, wherein readers must answer but one question:

2. I'm inclined to agree with you

3. Imagining either one

makes me want to ... :puke: BOTH are sick. :-(
