Voting Matters 2008
Week 1: The Race Begins
It was a normal day at the Winslow household as Carl sat alone in the living room awaiting to watch his favorite television show, Top Cops.
"I can't believe I have the entire house to myself. No kids, no noise, and best of all, no Steve Urkel," Carl said to himself as he sat back in the couch eating his popcorn. Suddenly, as if it was planned, the door swung open and Steve Urkel entered the scene.
"Hi, Big Guy," he said, sporting his usual garb of suspenders and thick-rimmed glasses. "Well, looks like you are all alone. That can't be any fun. I'll keep you company." He jumped and sat beside Carl on the couch, swiping the remote control from his hands.
"Steve, what are you doing? I was about to watch that."
"Oh, but my favorite show is about to come on, Everybody Loves Roaches. It's a thrilling documentary on the mating habits of the Siberian three-winged cockroach." Just then, Carl's children, Eddie and Laura entered the room.
"Yo, Dad, what's up?" Eddie said as he took the remote from Steve.
"Eddo, what are you doing?" Steve asked.
"My favorite show is coming on, The Traci Bingham Variety Hour."
"Variety?" Myra quipped. "The only variety on that show is which outfit she is going to half-wear. Now give me that remote so that I can watch Dr. Love Medicine Hunk."
As the four continued to fight over the television set, a news reporter came on. "We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a special message. Top Cops, Everybody Loves Roaches, The Traci Bingham Variety Hour, and Dr. Love Medicine Hunk will all not been seen tonight so that we can show you clips of the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, following the race to the presidency between Republican candidate John Mccain and Democratic candidate Obama barack."
Carl, Myra, Eddie, and Steve slowly shrugged. "Aw, man," said Eddie. "I can't believe I'm going to miss Traci Bingham in a halter top because of this."
Carl stood up and spoke, "You know, this has got to be the worse presidential race I have ever seen. These two candidates are so iffy, I sure wish that someone else would run for president."
"Wait a minute," said Steve. "I just had a brilliant idea. I know lots about politics. What am I saying, I know lots about everything."
"What are you getting at, Steve?" asked Myra.
"Mark your billboards for Urkel 2008," said Steve. "As of today, I'm throwing my hat into the presidential ring." He ran to the door, shouting on his way out, "Today, the presidency. Tomorrow, the world! Ha ha ha ha ha!"
As he bumped into the wall before heading out the door, Carl, Eddie, and Laura looked in disgust. "There is no way in the world we can let Steve run for president. With the candidates we have this year, he could possibly win," said Carl.
"So what should we do?" asked Myra.
"I'll run for president, too," said Eddie. Carl and Myra gasped. "Hey, I'm good looking, chicks dig me. I'll definitely get more votes than Steve."
"Yeh, you always win with that all important 'chick' vote, Mr. P.C." Myra snipped. "Besides, I know much more about politics than you. Plus, I think it's time that a woman stepped up to run this country. I'm running for president."
"Well, sorry to tell you this, kids, but you both lack age and experience. If anyone is going to run for president, it's going to be me," Carl boasted.
"Well, we will just see about that," said Laura and Eddie.
The next day, the news reporter returned to the television. "We interrupt everyone's favorite game show, Who's Your Daddy?, for this special announcement. Three Chicago natives have formed new political parties and entered into the presidential race. They are...
As soon as the TV announcement was done eddie said ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man I didnt get in but then carl said vice president is not so bad then myra said
"Good luck to all the candidates." stay tuned for the nexet story!!!!!!
