Most of it just demonstrative of the fact that our politics, come on, guys, it's fun. It's fun. I mean, we've got presidential candidates who are out there on the campaign trail, yelling at people in the crowd about how fat and stupid we have presidential candidates whose followers are trying to hit other people with canes.
