So you're saying that our beloved president will not serve out the rest of his term until the 2008 election?
You will be hearing from the homeland security agents to discuss this felony threat.

I just had an amazing idea for a reality TV show. An ex-governor, running for president, uses his campaign tour to search for clues in the 15-year-old case of a woman in a persistant vegetative state. Crossing the country in his portable crime-lab/campaign bus, he desperately tries to find signs of foul play in a case examined by hundreds of investigators, judges, and reporters.

This will be Cold Case meets Primary Colors.

Of course, running for office, he will need help with this, so he will need a lead investigator. Real policemen might not be able to handle being on camera, so what is needed is an actor who has experience playing a policeman. Also, buddy cop pictures sell better than single cop pictures, so there should really be a pair of investigators. It would also help if they had experience with real murder investigations.

So the investigative team of OJ Simpson and Robert Blake will join the governor on his cross-country odyssey. While helping him investigate the mystery of this poor woman, they will also take the time to search for the real killers in the unsolved murders of their ex-wife and wife.

I smell a ratings hit here folks.

You know, in those scary movies when the homicidal freak is lying in a puddle of his own fluids, after having been run over by a Caterpillar D-9, drenched with acid and set afire, perforated and amputated by powertools, and the end credit music is starting? The hero wraps his arm around the remaining heroine, as they sit on the curb with their backs to the smoldering corpse? You know better than to get up cause what always happens? Yeah, his last intact hand *twitches* then SPASMS TO LIFE ONCE MORE!! Thankfully, as he shambles to his feet, he stumbles and drops the roaring chainsaw on his throat, finally ending the picture.

The End.

So, as it turns out, coffee makes a pretty good solvent for most office/computer accumulations of grime. Don't bother asking me how I know, it was either that or choke to death.
