of the Simpsons episode where Homer wins the position of sanitation commissioner over an obviously more qualified and experienced civil servant (played hilariously by Steve Martin) and Homer winds up turning the town (literally) into a trash heap, forcing the whole town to be re-located once garbage starts spewing out of every orifice of the land. I can't help but feeling like we're basically living through this now- all because Republicans- and too many more people-liked his schtick for one reason or another.
