Nuge For Prez!

Not all of the votes for president in Portage County Ohio went to the two top contenders. Or even to Hillary Clinton, arguably the third place candidate.

Votes were cast for celebrities including Oprah Winfrey, Paris Hilton, Bill Cosby, Stephen Colbert, “Alford Hitchcock” and Motor City Madman Ted Nugent.

Fictional characters also fared well, with Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Kermit the Frog and MacGuyver racking up ballots. (Maybe there’s a place for MacGuyver in President-elect Obama’s cabinet. Secretary of Defense perhaps?)

Other voters opted to cast their lot with people who they thought might be capable of fixing the country’s various problems like Sen. Clinton, Ron Paul, Jack Kemp, T. Boone Pickens, Suze Orman, “Joe the Plumber” and, in a call for divine intervention, God.

And of course there where the nihilists, who simply threw their hands in the air over the whole mess and wrote in “I will not vote for president” or “None of the above.”
