You too! :D

Some things never change :P

One of my inner fears is someday having a sudden out-of-the-blue chance to confront a politician that I hate (or someone similar) but being il-prepared, and they get the better of the exchange and some sort of flashy soundbite that makes me look like an idiot, haha.
This might just turn into a visual representation of that fear.

I think a fear of sounding foolish when you mean not to is a common one, but sometimes that's just how life turns out. Besides, people who judge others based on sound bites and headlines alone are doing themselves and others a disservice. :)

Nearly all politicians are dumber than hamsters.

Perhaps, but the successful ones—the ones who get elected over and over again at the highest levels—are all well-versed in staying on message and not answering questions. The most common dodge—based partly on an honest rhetorical practice—is simply refusing to accept the warrants of the given question. It can drive you nuts when you know they’ve done X, and you just want to hear them explain why they did X. They answer assuming your reasoning is flawed.
