I can relate to that. If I was a Yank, I'd be stuck for a choice. Both 
primary candidates appear to be dishonest in important ways, and nobody 
else stands to get elected. I'd vote for an alternate, but I strongly 
suspect that most of them only remained unbesmirched principally 
because they're not worth the big boys bothering with.

It reminds me of an Aussie bumper sticker, playing on an advertising 
series which always ended with "Which bank? The Commonwealth" and a 
locally produced book /Bankers and Bastards/* which lifts the covers on 
the Australian banking industry; the sticker says:

    [ Which bank? They're all bastards! ]

Cheers; Leon

Here is an interesting blast from our "minister for everything 
else" (the Mining and Pastoral electorate covers most of Western 
Australia and is several (five?) times as large as Texas):
