<<too bad Ernest died. I would have voted for him.>> Not to worry. His spiritual successor is named "Yoda" (looks just like that old guy in the movie), a Chinese Hairless Crested who adopted me a couple of years ago. He was severely abused as a puppy and has consequently developed Clintonian level political skills; feels your pain(s), your daughter(s), your wallet, whatever you got. He is running on the CNOG platform (which means, cut the nuts off the government, before they cut off yours) and fully supports the California initiative proposition to make castration a capital felony (unless the cutting is on cats). His political strategy is to slip into the narrow area between Pat Buchanan and Donald Trump as Jesse Ventura's compromise candidate thus keeping Jesse in the Reform Party, gaining the nomination for himself, gaining access to Perot's millions, and providing a platform that can unify the Reform and Libertarian parties for the fall campaign. He needs your support and your write-in vote for this nationwide crusade. Best ...... Tom

<<Kevin, too bad Ernest died. I would have voted for him.>> I don't recall ever seeing a requirement that a candidate had to be living to be elected. If so, perhaps it should be repealed. Having a bunch of dead people in office would have a number of benefits. The effect is the same as Mark Twain's comment that the only time the government wasn't dangerous was when they were in recess. Support staffs would be small. Intern problems wouldn't develop. They also wouldn't keep voting raises for themselves since the cost of being dead index doesn't move up much. You wouldn't have to worry about people like Hillary running in states where they didn't maintain permanent residence. The skeletons wouldn't be in the closet. Best of all, it really doesn't matter which pompous party fool you vote for. -Z the late night cynic
