LETTER: Did you hear the one about the Clown, the Crook and the Clod?

It is with such joy, assurance, and deep-seated national pride that we, the voting throng enter those hallowed, flag-draped booths, pencils in hand ... during this mellow time of domestic and global harmony .... to decide between the Clown and the Crook ... knowing fully well that the Clod, the third sinking boat in this Bermuda Triangle, owns 8 percent of the polling power, and can capsize the outcome ... and is incapable of naming one foreign dignitary, past or present.

It speaks to the times. —Gary Vinson, Kalispell
