Osler's Razor

A lot of my friends (such as the The Bosque Boys) have provided their readers with helpful voting guides to the upcoming elections. Because of my own background as a voter, I will do the same over the next few weeks, making recommendations for certain offices of note. Today, two candidates are highlighted and recommended:

1) For Vice-President of the United States: Snuggles the Fabric Softener Bear

After six years of depressing ruminations from Vice-President Dick Cheney, it’s time we have a vice-president who is willing to laugh a little. Though there have been rumors that Snuggles died after being caught in a bear trap and gnawing off his own little leg, tried to choke a toddler with his cute yellow pom-pom, and that he was beaten to death by an enraged housewife, these rumors have proven false or exaggerated. Snuggles epitomizes what would be a bright new day in Washington.

2) For U.S. Congress: Ched Edwards
Having served as Mayor for several years before becoming our Congressman, Ched has stood for firm principles: All-beef patties, real cheddar cheese, and a new "get-tough" attitude towards hamburglery. Some thought he did not have a chance after redistricting; others scoffed because he has a cheeseburger for a head, or because he had befriended a hamburger clown. Nonetheless, he has steadfastly fought for our V.A. Hospital and for the principles embodied in the First Amendment. Because of his record of performance and his support for our communities (and for giving one of the better Baylor Law commencement addresses in recent memory), the Razor heartily endorses Ched Edwards.
