10 Paces and Turn

This could be a classic definition of "win-win situation". I saw this on the UK-based board that I got the link from: [quote]f**king brilliant. What a solution!!

My money's on the Iraqi lad, I reckon he'd kick spoiled white-boy patrician's ass. Then shoot him in the face, of course. Saddam's allegedly a bit handy, has a bit of experience at the old killing - Bush just electrocutes black people by proxy

Excellent.

PC Disclaimer: No, I'm not actually suggesting that Shrub getting blown away in a duel would be a good thing. I actually prefer him to be the figurehead of the Ruling Junta (tm my friend David) to having Cheney actually be in total control.

Actually it suggests a duel between presidents and VP's. Next in line are house speaker Dennis Hastert and senate president pro tem Strom Thurmond.

Be careful what you pray for.

Well, if Hastert can't take out the cadaver that is Strom Thurmond, he should be shot anyway. I mean, that's like the Lakers losing to my high school alma mater.

Umm, how does Hastert against Thurmond come into it?

I'm thinking about what happens if Bush and Cheney aren't able to serve.

*Sigh* I haven't had my afternoon cup of coffee yet.

I was assuming, for the purposes of a duel, that #2 & #3 would face off. They, *I think*, have similar but not equivalent functions.

Damn my high school civics teaching for being obsessed about the Holocaust and showing us Holocaust-related movies and tormenting gorgeous blond and blue-eyed Paul Dittes for being of German ancestry instead of teaching me this stuff.

Isn't Robert Byrd the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, since the Democrats regained control of the Senate?

It seems like it's the policy that President Pro Tems are those who should have retired long ago.

You're right pat and he's lately been
aggressively questioning the Bush administration on the Iraq issue. Even though he's probably the pork-barrel king of the senate, on this issue he's asking some good questions.
