Wiping Buriden's Ass from Presidential Politics
By Fatima Blondell

I put it to you that any casual observer of the last Presidential election witnessed the confluence of all 3 major out of favor theories; to wit, Buridan's Ass, Phlogistics and Siderism.

Voters gave credibility to the stasis of Buridan's Ass by propelling two equally (un)appetizing candidatical (sic) choices into a tie; Scotus, a combustible body containing the matter and principle of fire, combusted in the manner proscribed by phlogistics when it disintegrated the voters' indecision in a burst of legal phlogistons; and the result is a sideristic disturbance on the Body Politic which "due to the unpredictable nature of sideristic disturbance (has not) instantly killed (the Body Politic), but rather slowly pulled it into a state of decline."

A unified "out of favor" theory may be called for since attempting to elevate each theory above the other in a calculated regime produces a frustrating shell game in which the pea looks the same no matter which thimble hides it.

Like, for what it's worth.
