The Onion's take on midterm election bloodbath. Part satire, part apocalypse porn. Most amusing part of it, for me, is that the last remaining politician is none other than Peter Defazio, who represents my old district out of Eugene, Oregon. Peter really is one of a kind. Not only does he represent a district that combines some of the most conservative and liberal parts of Oregon, he has a long standing sense of humor and a stubborn decency and attitude about everything. Every year that Eugene Celebration, we elect a Slug Queen (who is almost always someone in drag) and have a big ol' parade. Pete volunteers every year to be the very end of the parade, dressed up in a mechanics suit and cleaning up with a push broom. He still drives a 72 Dodge Dart and rocks a round little head and wicked mustache. He is wee and adorable and a consistent fighter for the rights of every day people.
