mcbush is going to be the next president.

i'm certainly not saying this because i support the dick, but because it's damn near inevitable.  if they can't win it, they'll take it.

and there will be much loud rejoicing amongst the 27% of voters who actually voted for him.

early on in school, we were exposed to alternate governments.  the soviet "election process" really made an impact on me.  we saw video of some potentate "voting" in russia - he took his ballot, and just dropped in the box, because a blank ballot was assumed to be a vote for the incumbant - who always won by 99%.  it was laughable as an election.

now we've gone beyond that.

"Laugh about it, shout about it, when you've got to choose, every way you look at this you lose."

Could be worse.  Howard Dean could be one of the candidates....

much money will be made.  by people who will become very hard to find.

it sounds like the "money machine" scam on a larger scale.

the "money machine" went like this, build a machine that takes dollars in one end and spits 20 dollar bills out the other. load it up with 20's, and demonstrate to people how it "transforms" dollars into 20's. let them take the 20's to banks, law enforcement agencies, what ever they like to verify that they "aren't detectable as counterfiet". then sell them the machine for thousands and thousands of dollars.

and get the hell out of dodge before they come lookin' for you.

what's most surprising about this scam, is that it wasn't illegal.
