Can't find the link to this Dilbert strip, but I saved it a while ago to my computer.

Dogbert is running for office:

Dogbert: Vote for me or the terrorists will use your skulls for salad bowls.
Dogbert: I promise to take money from the people who don't vote for me and give it to the people that do.
Dogbert: Pollution has vitamins!
Person in audience: I like how he makes me feel.

ETA: Uploaded it here. Now accepting pledges for my copyright infringement legal defense fund.

All of the strips can be found online at http://www.dilbert.com/strips/
