Death to the Prince of Darkness!

Death to the Prince of Darkness! I have never been prouder to live in CT. We're finally getting some REALLY DIRTY politics.
In the 6 years that I've lived here, I've never seen so many rich-folk bickering about politics. In Stamford, the political spectrum is oddly aligned North to South: The further North you go, the further you get entrenched in old money, and even older political power.
South of I-95, you get ramshackle neighborhoods. I walk to work through that neighborhood, and have to watch where I step, lest I land on broken glass or vomit from the night before. North of the Merrit Parkway, you get the "North Stamford" area, as well as the townships of New Canaan and North Darien, where people habitually speak with the "Jaws Wired Shut" inflection. NC is also the home of Anthrax Coultier.
In the flux of this area, we're full of contradictions: We have a Democratic mayor who has repeatedly slashed education budgets for the city, in favor of new city development projects (read: Huge parking ramp for the metro-north train station). We have a Democratic Senator that preaches from the floor of Congress against anyone that would malign God by proposing that we remove His presence from government. We have a Repulican Governor, but the highest income taxes, property taxes, and gas taxes in all 50 states (.40 a gallon. I pay 6000.00 a year in property taxes).
dogs and cats, living together. Mass hysteria.

Ever get tired of the media saying that YOU don't like dirty, filthy, nasty, wicked and awful political campaigns?
Just about everybody I knows LOVES a disgusting, mean-spirited, tricky, swinish brawl. I mean, really! That's why you aren't supposed to discuss politics and religion in public, to avoid the fistfights. C'mon, take off them gloves!

I suppose it's entirely possible that he's the prince of darkness. After all, we're that state where the "truth" behind this film happened, and the home of world-famous demonologists. Not to mention Satan's Kingdom. And we had our own little slice of the Enron scandal. More federal indictments than you can count. Oh, and the angry Whalers fans. You see? A state teeming with demons, Enron, rampant cronyism, and the man dares to piss off hockey fans. I say he's the evil one or, at the very least, a close personal friend.
