It’s that time, the time that comes but once every four years. It’s time for my Facebook acquaintances to get political.

Here’s a basic overview:

During the last round, I quietly defriended the loud few.

This round, though, I’m taking a slightly more enjoyable route, and one that I’ve considered using on other occasions. This time, it just feels right.

Introducing, The lol Bomb.

First, you make some insane political commentary. Next, I try to remember the circumstance that led to our being connected on the internet. Oh, right, you went on three dates with my college roommate. Then, and this part is crucial, I leave an “lol” on the comment stream. And finally, I defriend.

That’s it, folks. That’s my plan for social network survival this year.
