'Would you rather be President or a Fox News contributor?'

This is the tough question now facing Newt Gingrich and Rick

Santorum (and will soon, presumably, also face Sarah Palin

and Mike Huckabee). This is where the old proverb, 'To

manipulate a single ornithoid has the equivalent desirability

as twofold avians located within a decorative shrubbery',

becomes relevant.
