| This is not a for-real, but . . . oh, if it were so! Of all sad words of tongue or pen The saddest are these: "It might have been!" |

| #5 This is not a for-real, but . . . oh, if it were so! Real enough for Mr. Lileks to write: If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve. If mailed the paychecks nevertheless, I will cash them with a heavy heart: really, the people of Minnesota deserve so much better. (You have to get past the Bounty towel stuff first) |

| #4 But think of the possibilities: Lileks representing Minnesota; Peggy Noonan defeating Hillary in the same year; Mark Steyn as the junior senator from NH; Victor Davis Hanson representing California . . . hey, a guy can dream a little, can't he? |
