"I have said from the very beginning, Hillary is the Democratic nominee and she is the next president of the United States.”

There is a high probability that the 2008 election has been prearranged - with the collaboration of all the major players. It's pretty clear that the President is becoming a figurehead in US government, anyway, so perhaps it doesn't matter much.

Yes, it's all a conspiracy.

To be honest, it's a subconspiracy of the larger conspiracy.

Those of us who are running the NAU are setting up this whole thing. Yes, I know you think this means that we will choose someone from the Bush or Clinton families, but we like to keep everybody guessing. A good conspiracy isn't predictable. It's mobile, adaptive.

So, I will reveal here the next president of the united states. Yes, right here on FR, you will hear who we in the smokey backroom (Cuban cigars, BTW) have chosen to be the president in 2008. Are you ready? Sit down, here it is:

Macaulay Culkin

He'll be tanned, rested and ready. Count on it.

Hillary and figurehead will NEVER go in the same sentence. (Other than that one.)

[fschmieg]

A figurehead who is commander in chief and can conduct wars?

Whoever the next President is gets to sign off on the "merger" and end our sovereignty, so you can bet that the nominee of both parties will be carefully vetted and chosen so as to not matter one iota which one the voters pick.
