The New Pledge

At the insistence of the state legislature, we've gone from saying the Pledge of Allegiance in school on Monday morning each week to saying it every day. In light of our nation's current political climate, maybe this is what our students should be reciting at the beginning of school each day:

"I pledge allegiance to the (Democratic/Republican) Party of the United States of America, and to the political ideology for which it stands: One nation, under (Barack Obama/Mitt Romney), divided in our favor, with liberty, justice, and (mandatory health insurance/unlimited access to firearms) for all."

I am SO ready for this election cycle to be over. I almost don't care who wins any more, as long as it ends.
