It's an Election Year and I Don't Like You
What’s that? You and your new boyfriend are breaking up? Has it been two months already? Wow. How the time flies. So, you know who you’re voting for?
For what? For President of the United States. For the kit and the caboodle. For the right to drive the expensive sports car that is the United States of America. Certainly you knew that?
No, she isn’t running anymore. It’s Barack against John.
McCain.
John McCain. Senator from Arizona.
Yes, the state. What, you thought he was from Arizona Avenue or Arizona Iced Teas or something equally dumb?
Look, I’m sure your boyfriend just has problems expressing himself. And I know, it sucks when the sex gets routine. And I’m sure you have been fighting a lot. That does not, however, preclude you from your duty to know who the hell is running for President.
Do you maybe think that this is why nothing changes?
What are you doing?
Yes, I understand that I’m not seeing anybody but well, I don’t think that’s a good idea.
Because, you’re a whore. And I walked into that buzz saw before.
I didn’t mean for that to rhyme.
I already apologized for that.
I already apologized for that.
Okay, how many times does a man have to apologize for the same mistake until it’s over and done with in your little world? Fifty? Sixty? Give me a number and at least let me know what I’m dealing with here.
Whatever. It’s not happening. We don’t even like each other.
It has too stopped me before. Look, I think you should leave.
That’s just mean.
Lower your voice, okay. I have neighbors.
All right, now you’re just scaring me. Get out.
I’m serious. Get out.
Whatever. Try reading a newspaper.
Yeah, well it breaks my heart. I was hoping you’d want to see me tomorrow.
Same to you.
Uhhhhh. There just has to be a sane one out there.

Wow.. all I can say is.. Wow. DeGraaf, you've really outdone yourself on this one! I thought this was going to be some boring, coherent piece of writing; instead you pull this out of the hat and it was hilarious and completely unexpected. I know that girl, and yes, she is insane.
Glad you're back writing for PIC, I have reason to come back to this site once again (other than the quotes, of course.. Rank this fart? Ya, that was me.

Ron Paul write-in anyone, of if you want it to matter at least a little, Bob Barr?
Has an eerie similarity in style with Paul Frank. At least it's not about fucking fetuses, or whatever.
Welcome back DeGraaf, new style...I like it.
Was she 'under the influence' during this parlay?
Good stuff.
GT, she was probably on something.
Nick, not a long term new style. But I am experimenting.
Tom, I think the only thing that makes this like Frank's work is that "One side of the dialogue" gimmick he always uses. I found it useful for this piece because removing her words actually increased the absurdity of them. Or something like that.
Anon, Ron Paul for President!
Jimmy, thanks. And she definitely is.
That was hilarious. The one-sided thing is one of my favorite styles, probably because like you said, it just increases the absurdity factor.
I hate this new set-up for your blog. Used to read it religiously, but now...it's somehow deterred me. Still love your writing though, you never disappoint.
cause im just to lazy to log in at work, my real account is Dan.
but hell yeah ron paul....
btw does anyone want a "Ron Paul 2008, Choose Freedom" livestrong-esque bracelet
I plan on writing Ron Paul in. Sigh. If only we could get rid of this outdated, two-party monopoly.
Yes, I know that didn't exactly make sense.
