First-past-the-post voting is a hostage situation and should be treated like the crisis it is. Electoral reform at the state level will give the people the freedom to vote how they want. Who could be against that?

It's funny to me how often we (I've been guilty of this) look at satire and think how amazingly they predicted the future, when they were really just commenting on their present and maybe extrapolating a little bit.

I wonder if Wag the Dog nearly mirroring the Clinton–Lewinsky scandal one month later counts.
