Practically everyone associated with the Nixon White House -- including, most absurdly, Nixon himself! -- had been suggested as the possible source for Woodward and Bernstein's Washington Post reportage. I think that Buchanan was John Dean's top suspect, but he never made the top tier on most lists. Buchanan himself has suggested that "Deep Throat" was a criminal and that Nixon was unfairly forced out of office. (Meanwhile, the actual Deep Throat, W. Mark Felt, simply doesn't live up to all those years of expectation.)

I, however, merely had Buchanan's Palm Beach County vote totals in mind.

What is wrong with voting for Pat Buchanan? I would vote for him any day. I think his political ideas were dead on.

Well, it was primarily a joke based upon the number of votes he presumably received accidentally when people erred based on a slightly confusing "butterfly ballot" design. That said, besides the fact that it's basically throwing away your vote, the following might be reasons why it's wrong to vote for Pat Buchanan:

1. He has repeatedly made racially-charged remarks, and if he isn't a racist himself, he at very least has no difficulty writing for white supremacist publications, running racist diatribes written by others (e.g., Steve Sailer) in his own magazine, etc.
2. He's a xenophobe.
3. He has a history of anti-Semitic remarks.
4. He's a protectionist who thinks free trade is one of the country's greatest ills.
5. He's an isolationist and, to defend his stupid foreign policy views, often denies that our past enemies, including Hitler, were as bad as advertised.
6. He does not believe that freedom of speech is a fundamental right and favors the criminalization of messages of which he disapproves.
7. He believes that public funds should be used to promote his religious beliefs.
8. He has a rather alarming habit of speaking and writing of Hitler in rather admiring tones. He'll always follow it up with the requisite denunciations, but then he'll claim that Woodrow Wilson bears greater guilt for complicity in the matter than did Hitler.
9. He has decided that it's not enough to disagree with second-wave feminism; instead, he's written columns questioning female intellect.
10. Basically, he's a well-spoken, intelligent fascist.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled discussion!

Well, it's one percent of a pound, e.g., one pence. A quid is worth $1.97 these days, so one pence is worth just shy of twenty cents USD. Clearly, you were the twentieth vote. Except we're well past that. So, on the other hand, one percent of a pound is forty-five decigrams and change, so I guess you're vote number 45. (Either that or 53.)

[Aram]

53 is me.

although, now that I look at it, I see everything you're talking about.

But, I wouldn't have put that much thought into it.

I'm not Jared.
