My friend Walter, who works for the State Department, just forwarded this e-mail from a friend of his in Denmark:
“We in Denmark cannot figure out why you are even bothering to hold an election.
On one side, you have a bitch who is a lawyer married to a lawyer, or a lawyer who is married to a bitch who is a lawyer.
On the other side, you have a true war hero married to a woman with a very large chest who owns a beer distributorship.
Is there really a contest here?”

It’s sad that just after giggling at this, my normally dormant inner PoliSci geek takes over and thinks, “You know, in the last 50 or so years, being a war hero hasn’t helped anyone become president … in fact, I’d bet that with one or two exceptions, the candidate with the more impressive military resume has lost.”
This thought leads to way too much time spent on Wikipedia, learning that George McGovern was a B-24 pilot and that Jimmy Carter was the only veteran of the Korean war era elected president.
Clearly, I need to increase my beer intake until that inner geek shuts up entirely.
