We are sincerely indebted to loyal Ticket reader Travis for this morning’s week-ending chuckle.

He found a website that lets you nominate anyone for president (insert name here) and incorporates their name in a most realistic TV news video report.

And thanks again to Travis. If anybody else comes across good/fun/unusual political sites, just send them to The Ticket please. We might highlight yours.
