And Remember, Kids, Any One of You Could Grow Up to Become Mayor

   I'm... not sure if that's true or not, actually. Sure a heck of a lot easier than growing up to become president. You still have to get voted for by a majority, though, right? Except for the Mayor of Hollywood, which is a ceremonial position appointed by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. (Hollywood is a district of Los Angeles, so its mayor would at press time be Antonio Villaraigosa.)

    Previous Mayors of Hollywood have included Monty Hall, Charlton Heston, Lawrence Welk and Betty stinking White, but after the death of Johnny Grant the position is unoccupied. Which means that I guess that while you probably won't be president, you, yes you, really can become the mayor! Of Hollywood, no less!

   No official power, and even no salary, plus you have to attend dead actors' funerals, but, it's probably still a kooshy and glamorous gig. Alright. And it can happen to you! It's probably going to be like Angelyne or somebody instead, but, you can always hope! There can always be some kind of electrical fire or something...

   Yeah, you could be like John Goodman! No, never mind. You know what, I think it should be John Goodman. I nominate John Goodman for Mayor off Hollywood.
