An election story - in the future!

esemeI read this earlier in the week, but got busy. It should still be fun now.
John Scalzi wrote a short story about an election, and somehow got paid to post it on his own blog (I am relatively sure that one would have to have a wildly popular blog like his to make that bit work).
It is hilarious, well written, and a great antidote to any zany politics you may have experienced this week (especially the ads).
I can think of a couple of reasons someone might not like this story:
It has aliens, and is science fiction. That may not be your thing.
The future it is set in is one with gay marriage.
So long as neither of those things would get in the way of your enjoyment of the story, go read!

“Oooh, fruit skewers” is the best line.
