This electioneering image has the added advantage of being
*furry* ... :-)

They should get Talking Heads to reform for the campaign song. Really
obvious IMHO...

"Well we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride"

Most of the fireworks sold in the U.S. have regular fuses (gunpowder
impregnated paper/wick material), not touchpaper. So we don't really
recognize the reference very quickly.
