Punch your chad for these peeps.
What if your choice on November's ballot wasn't between Obama and McCain, but Obama and Brokaw, or McCain and Freeman?
As the race narrows, here are the (non-political) people we'd pick as Presidential candidates.
The Confident, Hot Candidate
For a long time now, we've been trying to figure out how to manufacture the Pocket Brokaw. About the size of a tall latte, the Pocket Brokaw works as a portable hologram--pull out your mini Tom when you need that soothing baritone to see you through tough times.
The Deep Impact Candidate
If Morgan Freeman were president, and told us he saw a "new direction for America," and that direction was Mars, we'd go. 'Cause it's Morgan Freeman and dude just knows where it's at.
The Genius Comedian Candidate
No B.S., lots of funnies, and hair in unsightly places. We'll cast our ballots for the wise and wry Jon Stewart. Because nothing says don't eff with the free world like a man who sports hairy hands with pride.
The Woman In Charge Candidate
We're pretty sure Meryl Streep could manufacture diamonds "internally". She's just that good.

Celebs need to be more cautious.
Thank goodness Morgan Freeman is on the mend after his serious car accident this week. We just don't know what we'd do without him! In the wake of Morgan's accident, we started thinking about all the recent wrecks. Car crashes are the new bad news in Hollywood.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, car crashes account for the same amount of deaths per year as a full plane of people crashing and killing everyone on board every single day. And celebs aren't immune to driving dangers--Lindsay has been in more than her fair share of wrecks. But she's not alone. Take a look.
Shia LaBeouf
Recently, the Transformers star made an illegal left turn and struck another vehicle. When police arrived on the scene, Shia was intoxicated and later charged with a DUI. He suffered major injuries to his left hand and underwent surgery, from which he is still recovering. The passenger, Aussie actress Isabel Lucas, was not injured.
Lindsay Lohan
First, Lindsay pulled out into traffic and struck a van after having too much alcohol during lunch at The Ivy (she was underage at the time). Then, Lindsay was involved in a high-speed chase after her assistant quit, ultimately resulting in yet another crash. Maybe her leggings got stuck on the gas pedal.
Brandy
In 2006 while driving down the 405 in L.A., singer Brandy saw too late that the cars in front of her were stopped, causing in a four-car pile up that resulted in a death. No drugs or alcohol were involved, but the accident was attributed to Brandy's negligence.
Gloria Estefan
In 1990, Gloria was involved in a near fatal car crash that dislocated her vertebrae and nearly ended her career.
Niki Taylor
In 2001, Niki was a passenger in a car when the driver lost control, ran off the road, and hit a utility poll. The apparent cause was the distracted driver, who was looking at his cell phone. The model suffered extensive injuries to her liver and remained in critical condition for days.

Dark and light come together in theaters this weekend.
Christopher Nolan is once again at the helm of the franchise he helped revamp, making edgy what was once cheesy, smart what had become silly. The Dark Knight, a sequel to Nolan's 2005 Batman Begins, pits Batman (Christian Bale) against wacko criminal The Joker (Heath Ledger).Both the film and the late actor are earning rave reviews. Ledger is being called "mad-crazy-blazing brilliant" and Oscar talk is already swirling.
Adding the yin to the weekend yang is Mamma Mia!, the big screen adaptation of the ABBA-inspired musical. With an all-star cast (Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, and Amanda Seyfried) and can't-help-but-sing soundtrack, this campy winner promises to take it all.
