No pansy-assed politicking. Eh. Novak for God-King or Emperor, maybe, but unless the Secret RASFWRJ Cabal seized control of congress, I can't see him as president. Though the latter could lead to some interesting scenes... "I just think it's cool that we have a Senator named Thor." Post- election man-in-the-street interview from somewhere in Montana... "Waddya mean the junior Senator from New York is trying to fuck with anti-trust law again? Rothgery ought to know I'll never sign that shit, even if he manages to get it out of committee." President Novak said, hearing of the bill Senator Dave Rothgery, R-NY, introduced earlier today. "Indiana Senator Mark Loy today introduced legislation which would give the NFL an antitrust exemption if the Vikings fired Dennis Green. Sen. Kozlowski of Wisconsin opposed the move, saying that 'Damnit Mark, the Vikings are supposed to suck.'" "A two-thirds majority of the Senate fell asleep while Senator Hou of Michigan was introducing his medicare reform bill. A spokesman for an unnamed senator said 'Jeff usually has good ideas, but has he ever heard of summarizing?'" "Despite the often heated debates of this congressional session, where the word 'fuck' was used nearly ten thousand times on the Senate floor, and actually made it into several peices of legislation, most observers agree that it was a remarkably effective session of congress, where President Novak signed a great many much-needed reform measures. The long-term effects of this congress have yet to pan out, but it looks like so far, the American people like it." CNN, just before the next election. -- Dave Rothgery daveroth@altavista.net
