We put the MOCK in Democracy!


ATHOUGH Hillary trails in delegates, she's fighting for the nomination her way. She hung in to win to Pennsylvania, and she's been campaigning hard, -- along with Bill and Chelsea -- to show Indiana and North Carolina voters her "testicular fortitude."

Week of April 28

CHINA is secretly pleased by protests during the Olympic torch relay and controversy over Tibet, since they divert attention from the big business of exporting dangerous products. Already China leads in providing tainted pet food, hazardous toothpaste, and poisonous toys. Last week, we learned that contaminated heparin, a blood thinner, is suspected in dozens of deaths in 11 countries.

Week of April 21

JOHN McCAIN can catch up on his naps while Obama and Clinton continue to fight it out in the primaries. That way he won't nod off later on the campaign trail. Ronald Reagan was only 69 years old when he first took office, but McCain will easily break the record if elected.

Week of April 14

THIS WEEK Pope Benedict XVI arrives in Washington. He's so busy that he'll skip a dinner in his honor at the White House. And that way he won't have to answer questions about politics, foreign policy, or dioceses bankrupted by the clergy abuse scandals at the start of his first pastoral visit to the U.S.

Week of April 7

GERALDINE FERRARO was on Hillary's finance committee until she tried to kick a little something herself. It didn't work out too well. After saying in an interview that "if Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position," she quickly dropped out of the campaign to spend more time explaining her ideas.

Week of March 31

ELIOT SPITZER'S impact on New York state's unemployment had its ups and downs, and now he's out of a job, too. He was New York's top cop before becoming governor, an inspiration to law enforcement everywhere, before getting caught.

Week of March 24

MAYBE Americans really are ready for change. Maybe Democrats will endorse a dream ticket. Maybe their convention won't be a fiasco after all, and even John McCain, closet Democrat, will endorse that ticket. Maybe you believe in the Easter Bunny, too.
