A Musical Modest Proposal

NPR reported this morning that almost as many people voted in the current American Idol match-up as voted in the last presidential election.

Here's a thought. Why don't we let whoever wins tonight be President of the United States? Could we do worse? And at least the person could sing, which is one thing in his/her favor. Now, there's a way to turn out the votes!

Just say: Taylor/Catherine, congratulations! You're the new American Idol! And President of the United States! You get to serve until next week's Deal or No Deal winner takes over! Woo-hoo!

Just a thought . . .

Sounds a great idea.

We currently have Big Brother running. Housemates include a transvestite, a guy with Tourette's and a beauty queen. I don't see why any one of those should do any worse a job than Tony.

Glad to hear you're settling well in NY. Only visited it once but loved the Library.
