Something a person who has been dealt large doses of electro-shock would suggest.
A suggestion by someone who has had a lobotomy performed on them.
That sounds like a suggestion from someone who was smothered by a large man with a pillow in their sleep.

I hope you got it out of your system and feel better now.

It's November 9th, in the year 2014.
We won't be voting for or writing in anybody for about another year and a half.
Things will probably be quite different by then.
