Molly Ivins (the columnist, based in Dallas,
I think) has been using "Dubya" to refer to
GWBush for some time now, well before Trudeau.
Y'know, much as I like living in Austin, it

Electoral College. Now that we have better
communications technology, isn't it time to
junk the College and rely purely on popular
vote for President?
