Who cares?  It doesn't matter which one gets it.  Our 
choices this year were Beavis or Butthead.  People keep 
talkiing smack about the new pres being able to 
nominate as many as 3 Supreme Court justices.  
Fortunately for us, nominate is all he can do.  It 
still requires a 2/3 vote in Congress to ratify the 
nomination.  So basically, in this year's election, 
like every other election, congressional races are far 
more important than who gets to be the main PR guy.

All of those things are far more important than the 
presidential race, and you have to remember that I 
despise television.
