6. You changed your name!
I thought about changing mine, but then BOSSHOG wouldn't be able to say "Lisa, Lisa, Lisa" to me anymore.

11. I kinda had to. Since we aren't a "captive" America any longer, I went with Capt. America,
which is kinda what I wanted originally, but someone already had "captain America".

3. As much chance as his being commissioner of miniature golf. . .
which is to say: none.

Fucker is King Midas in reverse - everything he touches turns to shit.

4. He did a great job fucking up the Rangers...I bet Selig,
the epitome of failure in Milwaukee, admires that.

5. They would have to do some accomodating
since his office would have to be in Paraguay.

7. While I don't think he's fit to drive an ice cream truck, much less run Major League Baseball
At least we might finally get rid of the DH.

9. Zero
He's a lightning rod and the owners would never see him as providing any value. His PR value would be negative from day one.

That's not going to happen.

10. No way
Ex-presidents -- even fuck-ups -- don't move on to menial labor, unless charitable.

12. The only reason I broached this topic is that several talking heads had mentioned it over the years.
I personally think he will not have the time to do any charitable work, because he'll be in prison.

14. I was wondering about the same thing, actually.
Though after seeing Frost/Nixon last night I envision the same kind of future for * as Tricky Dick -- as an outcast, lonely and empty, except for the company of a few ass-kissers.

16. C'mon, now
Even baseball team owners have more on the ball than to do that.

Bush is about as employable as Fredo right now.

18. If that comes close to happening they should just disband the league
and save us the trouble of watching the national pastime completely go down in flames.
