T he end of the

one of the most
prevalent com

year was about
the noticeable

tic setting promised by bad ’70s sci
ence fiction movies and “The Jet-
sons” cartoons.
Meanwhile, the subject matter
that should have the American
public thinking about what will
not be in the near future is the in
fantile quibbling about this year’s
elections.
The litigation resulting from
I j'plectile disfunction 2000” could
last until flying cars really are being
sold at the local used car dealership.
As anyone who has the cajones
to challenge a speeding ticket
Qknows, no one is better at dragging
out a situation than the lawyers of
this great nation.
The pairing of American
lawyers and the leadership of the
free world is about as good an idea
mas inviting Joe Lieberman to a Sat-
o -urday electric ham-baking conven
tion. The result has not only made
America the laughing stock of the
entire world, but it also has led to
the populace being exposed to the
words “dimpled chads” so often
that masses of junior high girls are
beginning to believe that the term
refers to the next big fashion craze
from Calvin Klein.
Not that the people care any
more, but it should be interesting to
see the general reaction of Ameri
cans when the true travesty of this
affair is exposed.
Clinton cannot rule forever, and
the speedy court system eventually
may have to decide on a temporary
replacement. One possible result is
executing the presidential succes
sion clause of the Constitution — a
clause that would normally only be
used in case of a mass assassination
of government leaders.
First in line is Vice President A1
Gore. If anyone cannot figure out
why he does not lit into the picture,
he should be dragged out into the
street and beaten with a rolled-up
newspaper.
Next come Speaker of the
House of Representatives Denny
Hastert and Senate President Pro
Tern Strom Thurmond. Yeah, like
they are going to give up sweet
deals like those to have a week-
long reign as the most persecuted
man in the nation.
These officers are followed by
Secretary of State, Madeleine Al
bright. This Czechoslovakian-born
American does not rank because of
yet another obscure constitutional
clause preventing those born in
foreign countries from becoming
president.
Then come the Secretary of De
fense William Cohen and Secre
tary of the Treasury Lawrence
Summers. Both of these officials
are rumored to be leaving public
office in search of work in the pri
vate sector. Good luck, guys.
This leaves the most probable
contestant in the giant game of
“Pick the President,” Attorney
General Janet Reno. No one ever
enjoys seeing the glass as half
empty, but in this case, finding a
reason why Reno should not be
president has to be better than
looking at those fish bowl glasses
until the presidential temper
tantrum has ended.
Reno has endured numerous
ugly jokes during her term as a
protector of the public trust. The
likelihood that America as a whole
would be comfortable with some
one who could at any moment tear
away a false wig and glasses to re
veal Dr. Evil would be slim to
none. Is this an exaggeration?
Well, this 6-foot-1-inch juggernaut
is rumored to wear a blue dress
formerly owned by J. Edgar
Hoover.
What she lacks in charm, she
makes up for in Frankenstein-in
spired dread. Face it, nothing is
quite as heartwarming as the pic
ture of cute little Elian Gonzales
with an assault rifle pointed in his
general direction. Although this
stantly scrutinized. Meanwhile,
men need only a short haircut and
a dark suit to be on par with the
next guy looking for a power trip.
Reno’s butch style, with the sim
ple blue dress and scant traces of
lipstick, may be what is needed to
give a new status quo to power-mo
tivated women in politics, much to
the disgust of the Tammy Fae Baker
wannabes often seen at Republican
fund-raisers.
What it really comes down to,
however, is that final result of the
current presidential hoopla really
does not matter. Anyone with a
glimmer of consciousness knows
that the true ruler of the free world
is Federal Reserve Chairman Alan
Greenspan — or, as his
friends call him, God.

But maybe the glass is not half
