The Onion article:

It continues to note that the populations of Switzerland, Sweden, and Canada
are being considered as possible alternatives to run the US.

Obviously Mr. Reagle is on a better track; we should put our screen savers in
charge of the country. They'd probably do a good enough job if we had some
decent iron thrown in to the mix. Having already had an actor as president,
we may as well take the next step and try an awfully pneumatic video game
character.
