People,

So I have an idea. This is perhaps the best idea I've had in a long time. You will be shocked and amazed.

I think we should nominate the Boston Red Sox to take over the democratic ticket for November. I mean, these guys can't lose right now.

Also, once they win I think they could divide the tasks up pretty easily; Varitek would naturally be the Secretary of Defense, Manny would be the White House Press Secretary, Millar could handle PR and terrible KFC commercials, Schilling would do the fundraising, Nixon could handle everything concerning the disabled, Kapler could be the health and fitness chair, Pokey Reese could head up the Department of Silly Nicknames, Pedro could handle all national security issues as they pertain to the Gerry-curl, Johnny Damon could be the White House Stylist, etc. Get Terry up off the bench for the Vice Presidency and put Theo in charge of it all.

Who's with me?

P.S. The sweater contest (see September 7th entry) is heating up. Get your entry in today.
