I don't know how it was when you went to high school, but when I went, we all
had a required course in "civics" which had nothing to do with HONDA engines,

on the exams for citizenship.
It's true that "Just because his brother is the governor of Florida doesn't

his brother was doing anything underhanded." However, the fact that he's a Bush
suggests that he could hardly have been doing anything else. It's in their DNA,

popular vote doesn't
directly decide the presidency. It has happened once before. Just
because his brother is the governor of Florida doesn't mean his brother
was doing anything underhanded.
