Kerry-Bat Boy?

As I was standing in the check-out lane at Wal-Mart today, I noticed that the front page story on one of the tabloids was something to the effect that John Kerry was considering a half-human, half-bat creature as his running mate.

That headline is rich in possibilities, most of them too easy to even bother with. Suffice it, then, to say that such a choice on Kerry's part would add much-needed gravitas to the ticket.
