Senator Franken, Governor Schwarzenegger, Ambassador Roker?

As I'm prepping for tuck-in time, the thought of oncoming nightmares about a celebrity-run democracy is truly terrifying.

If those in the celeb spotlight who enjoy sharing their glorious opinions with us regular folks take the next step and seek office, then soon it will be Representative Billy Bob Thornton, Senator Ryan Seacrest and Ambassador Al Roker.

Of course, the ratings for C-SPAN would go through the roof. And most importantly, civic involvement would be re-ignited in this country, especially on the filibuster nights when Sinbad argues with Carrot Top about growing challenges in the Horn of Africa.

Sweet dreams...
