Virgina To Do Without Governor For Now


Taking its cue from the decision of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to conduct this year's Oscars ceremony without a host, the State of Virginia has decided to operate for the time being without a governor.  “This is really embarrassing,” stated Senator Mark Warner, a former governor who headed an ad hoc committee to identify a new governor in the wake of scandals affecting Virginia’s elected governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general.   Following the lines of succession, the committee has gone through 113 state and local officials, all of whom were found to have some disqualifying racial, sexual, or financial impropriety in their past that disqualified them for office.  “We thought we finally had a winner, but it turned out that the Commissioner of Elections in Rappahannock County had viewed the stolen nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence while they were still online.  We just can’t have that, I guess.”  Amazingly, the damning information on all 113 individuals was uncovered by hitherto unknown journalist Patrick Howley of the hitherto unknown website Big League Politics.  “Geez,” said Warner, “I’ve heard of having your ear to the ground, but this kid is ridiculous.”
