Beloved and talented reader Randall susses out some of the other tickets that might be popping up as campaign season heats up...and finds them wanting...:
I guess I would have to note that the Jeter-led Yankee ticket, with its policies of tax cuts for the rich, deportation of non-elite members of society, and Hussein-like stacked deck elections veer so far to the right as to approach despotism.The Red Sox seem to espouse a brand of Stalinism though, since they are really making a grab for totalitarian government as well, yet are posing as righteous have-nots trying to overthrow the established capitalists.
The As and their left-wing Beaneball approach...overly intellectual government just can't work. Plus I get this image of Stephen Hawking in the White House and even though that's not really precisely analogous, it kind of makes me want to leap from a moving vehicle.
Santana-Nathan, however, is a feel-good embodiment of the American dream, committed to the future in the minor leagues, and devoted to giving the Nicky Puntos of the world a voice. Perhaps they are the only ones who can make the world safe for democracy?
