A red caption bar reads: "MY FANTASY: PASS A LAW REQUIRING ALL POLITICAL SPEECHES TO CONTAIN THE SAME PREAMBLE." Below, a gray-haired politician in a dark suit and red tie stands at a wooden podium, gesturing as he speaks into a speech bubble: "*ACHEM* BASED ON MY POOR UNDERSTANDING OF HISTORY, SCIENCE, AND ETHICS..." The joke is that every political speech would be forced to open by admitting the speaker barely understands the topics they're about to opine on. Votey (aftercomic): two handwritten note panels. First: "Dear Zach, What are your actual politics?" Second: "Dear reader, I am a Bedfordite Bonapartist. How is this not obvious??"
