However, I'd favor a newsgroup we could name alt.president, in which I, Kent, or any other fool could run for president, outline their shadow cabinet (If I use Dr. Tim in the FDA, who do I get for Education -- T. Nelson, S. Pappert, or M. St. James?), post State of the Union messages, and otherwise cavort, commentate, and satirize. Call it alt.politics.humor, or something like that, if you don't like alt.president. But I argue NO! to alt.birthright, YES!! to alt.president, or alt.political.parties, or something similar.
