POLLS CLOSE AS CALIGULA TIES WITH KERRY!

Well, it’s OVER.
I just ended the “Who is your favorite candidate for evil emperor?” poll, and the official count has been completed. 1447 votes were cast, and Caligula is the clear winner by a plurality. While he didn’t quite win the majority of votes cast, he did reach about the same percentage of total voters as John Kerry.

Not that this is surprising, of course. But some readers may wonder why Caligula didn’t do better.
There are rumors that Hollywood attempted to influence the election, but as usual I can’t prove anything…..
IMPORTANT: In a show of unity, the imperial candidates have kindly asked everyone to please participate in a brand-new “EXIT POLL” which can be found over on the right hand column. You need only choose one answer to a simple question: “What ancient form of execution would you LEAST prefer?” Public opinion counts — so please make your voices heard!
MORE: Whoops, almost forgot to display a picture of the winner, Caligula!

Why the bashful look after such a big victory?

    He bears a stikin’ resemblance to Leonardo Di Caprio, doesn’t he?

    HAIL TO THE ROMAN EMPIRE!!!!
    That is an extremely interesting quiz on forms of execution, such as to delight the Marquis de Sade (who could have been any one of those evil emperors).
