The National Smirk-off seems a sure thing to pass now that Gore has jumped behind Democratic front runner Howard Dean. I’m not sure I can bear watching Bush and Dean alternately smirk at me during every commercial break for the next year. I guess maybe I’ll have to watch less TV – or just get up and get a beer more often. I’m thinking that maybe Rev. Al should switch to an independent and run on the no-smirk platform.
