SENATOR ENDS RUN
by IdiotHead
(IF) Anterior Naris, USA - Senator Rostrum P. "Booger" Nose of Nostril announced he has decided to end his run for President. He is bowing out after disappointing showings in the primaries. "I would like to thank all my supporters for their wonderful - uh- support in this race", the Senator was quoted at his press conference. The embattled Senator has recently been dripping in the polls for his pro-boscis stance. A Nose volunteer was heard to say "I thought our Nose would run all the way to the White House, but now he snot."
Nose rose to prominence from lowly beginnings working his way through college as an olfactory worker, earning a BS degree as a chemoreceptor. He later joined the military and graduated from Nasal Cavity in Annapolis, where he earned the nickname Booger for his hard tactics. While there, he played football at the nose guard position. After his term in the Nasal ended, he ran for and was elected mayor of Anterior Naris. He ran for the Senate in a 10K marathon and won "by a nose". The Senator has served many terms and has sponsored such bills as the Schnoz Highway Act, Honker Noise Reduction Act, and the Beak and Duck Bill.
His campaign ran on the motto of "Keep your nose out of my business" or "Nose Out" for short. Senator Nose plans to return to his home in Upper Respiratory Tract for some much needed rest and then return to his seat in Congress to continue run the Smells and Odors Committee as its chairman.

Great halftone dot effect. Way too clever post all-around... too clever for primetime. Way well done.

And is that John McEnroe flaming away in the tennis match below?
