Vote for Zod. And then kneel before him.

I’ve been waiting for his comeback ever since he got forced out of the Imperial Senate a long time ago (and in a galaxy far, far away).

Hey, it was either that link or the one from the monkey researcher about how he knows McCain is afraid of Obama based on primate sociology. . . . Oh hell, let’s post that too.
