Nader Wins Big!
In the most astounding upset in the history of the United States, Ralph Nader was elected President yesterday by a huge margin of over 50 million votes. Nader vowed to stick to his platform of banning plastic baggies and giving a $1000 tax credit to everyone who rides a bicycle to work.
His oponents, Republican, George W. Bush and Democrat, Al Gore sent their congratulations. Gore vowed to help Nader, saying "After all I invented Global Warming." Bush returned to Texas to rest at his ranch, but planned to go back to Washington to try to convince Nader to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling.
According to Gore, his defeat was due partly to mistakes made during the three Debates. "I should have punched George Bush in the nose," said Gore. Govenor Bush replied, "it was the subpliminol.....er supbilm..uh sublinbol, oh, you know.... the Rat Ad that did me in."
