A while back, someone offered an opinion that the rest of the world should have input on the US Presidential elecions.. including the right to vote.

Being hungry today and only having a can of worms for food, I offer the following link:

Can you imagine Bart as a resident of the White House?

Anyhoo, I say let the world vote in our elections -- that is, if we can vote in theirs, too!

sounds fine to me as long as we get to vote in all their elections. lessee....

France population: 60 million. population over 18: about 39 million.
Germany population: 82 million. population over 18: about 55 million.
USA population: 293 million. population over 18: about 196 million.

our voters can beat up their voters.

Homer Simpson for president of France. he likes food, they like food, what a match. Barney Gumble for president of Germany. he likes beer, they like beer, what a match.

They get Homer Simpson and we get George Bush?

Sounds like the jokes on us.

Actually, my vote would be for Tony Soprano - at least you'd know where you stood in the scheme of things.

Go ahead... take a bullet for the prez.
