IMAGE: An American flag with a lone star at the center

	Potato Chip Politicans
	arrr flaky ta duh kore
	sliced thin
	fried deep
	sugared lightly
	they have jest enough salt
	ta win elections

	Mmm.
	Nothing beats the flavor
	ah pure bullshit
	and the best way to create that
	is to slice yer conscience
	fry all common sense
	salt with humor
	add plenty preservatives
	'n don't forget packaging
	dutz slick!

	Yum Yum!
	Roll yer chips!


Sam: 	(Yawning) I'm bored of this shit!

Tim: 	Yeah, I hear you. I guess most Americans are hoping Jesus will come again ta set things right.

Ted: 	(Spitting) Don't count on it. Bullshit is built into the fabric of our DNA.

Kris: 	(Snapping her fingers). That can be fixed! Perhaps it is time for genetic editing?

Terri: 	(Rolling her eyeballs and about to speak, then deciding silence is best.)
