V4M: I'd try to help my wife with her seminary homework, but apparently there's a difference between Josephus and Bocephus.
Jane: Where do all Josephus's rowdy friends go if they can't come over tonight?
V4M: apparently they draw lots and kill each other
Jane: That IS rowdy.

Note to V4M, from the Wikipedia entry on good ol' Bocephus: "On November 17, 2008, Williams announced that he will run for the U.S. Senate in 2012 as a Republican party candidate, challenging incumbent Republican Senator Bob Corker. Williams was reported to have already consulted with Senator Lamar Alexander and former Senator Bill Frist, both Republicans from Tennessee."

Pro Hank:
1) He'd be a walking insult to the "world's greatest deliberative body" and its an institution in grave need of insult.
2) In addition to the aforementioned pig and beer he also promises to bring to Washington "Girls that can cook, girls that can clean, and girls that can do anything in between". Corker has never been rumored to move the scandal meter any farther than sexually harassing the campaign staffers. Advantage Bocephus.
Pro Corker:
1) Defeated and embarrassed Harold Ford.
Anti Corker:
2) Harold Ford didn't go away and is currently reverse carpetbagging in New York. Possible mitigating circumstance, this keeps him away from the fawning attentions of Joe Scarborough.
Best outcome: Challenge the two of them to play a cozy round of "Josephus in the cave".
