Get out your fire works and sparklers.

IT'S HAPPY APHELION HOUR!!

It's time to PARTAY!!!!

In observance of long standing traditions in the newsgroup. I
absolutely cannot let your remark go unchallenged.

Aphelion, my arse. As usual, Shortwave, you're supporting the wrong
partay. Everybody knows, (or should) that the perehelion party is far
superior and much more patriotic than the aphelion party could ever
be.
It should be ovious to everybody that the aphelion party is merely
riding on the coat-tails of patriotic fervor stirred up by the Fourth
of July holiday. The Perehelions, on the other hand, have such a
strong platform that they absolutely dominate all events in the
otherwise rather dull month of January. Even after the December
holiday season and the
last hurrahs of New Year's Eve, the perehlion party gets virtually
every man, woman, and child on the planet to participate in it's
annual convention. Talk about universal effectiveness and popular
clout!

If ever there was a weak movement it would have to be
Aphelionism....heck, if it were up to the Aphelions alone even the
tides would be a slackers.

Vote Perehelion. Early and often.
