Truth in Political Advertising, Take One

The following is a paid political announcement from Americans for a Nicer America, a citizen's interest group formed for the sole purpose of paying for this commercial.

"Hello, I'm a candidate for an elected position. I believe in family, tradition, and God, whenever anybody's watching, and that's more than you'll get from my opponent if even half of the stuff I made up about him is true.

"I have served the needs of my constituents -- keeping in mind that my accountant, car dealer, bookie, and mistress are all registered voters in my district -- and I stand proudly on the parts of my record that I'll let you see. Big changes are necessary to bring this country around to the direction I want to go, and there's every chance that the people of America might benefit accidentally.

Chris, you never fail to make my day. The only problem I ever have is trying not to laugh out loud in class when I'm reading your column!
