...point of all these metaphors, of course, is to prove that the community of the politically obsessed is regular guys and gals, who care more about a Jerry Rice catch or a Pippen-to-Jordan jam than the latest tracking poll or Aspen Institute Seminar. But voters are not fools; when they hear a talking head spout one of these lame efforts, they respond like an assembly of eighth-graders listening to an assistant principal quoting Beavis and Butt-head.

The Colorado amendment was approved in 1992 by 53.4 percent of the state's voters, but a state court blocked the law from being enforced.
