in an ideal world...

In my ideal world, the 2004 election ballots would be counted by a giant supercomputer. After some time the machine's loudspeakers would bellow:
"PEOPLE OF EARTH! THE NEW US PRESIDENT IS..."
(pause for suspence)
"...AL GORE!"
and everybody would be like: "huh?"
and then the machine(who of course, in case this wasn't already clear, would also be a giant robot)would speak again:
"PEOPLE OF EARTH PLEASE BE PATIENT, PREVIOUS DATA INCORRECT."
(everbody sighs of relief)
"THE REAL NEW AMERICAN PRESIDENT IS...ALEXANDER LUKASHENKO!"

and two CIA guys at the back would look at each other and say "whoops!"
