DeVore: No demon sheep in California politics

If ever there was a short-cut to winning an alt.weekly writer’s endorsement, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate Chuck DeVore has found it. Now, what follows isn’t an endorsement of DeVore, but rather of his promise: Rid California politics of demon sheep.

That evil furry was introduced in Carly Fiorina’s latest political hit job on her Republican opponent, Tom Campbell. It was a mixed, mashed, mangled metaphor that simultaneously portrayed Californians as sheep and coined the term “FCINO” or, Fiscal Conservative in Name Only.

DeVore is also mocking Fiorina’s acronym-idiocy on his new site, DemonSheep.org. His new organization, SFTEODSFOPD, or Society for the Eradication of Demon Sheep from Political Discourse, ask voters to “Please pledge your efforts to stop these Jawa-like, Terminator-esque, Demon Sheep from taking over California.”

Crap. Now that I think about it, I’m going to have to retract that endorsement.  Two reasons: a) DeVore uses the Comic Sans font and, like millions of computers users, I can’t f’in stand Comic Sans and b) What would I do without demon sheep? Discuss “Race to the Top” or eminent domain? Boooring.

Memo to Fiorina: Can we have a demon platypus next?
