...tank top. She was soon followed by 'N Sync's Justin Timberlake, sporting a new haircut and a shirt that appeared to be made of carpaccio, and Christina Aguilera, fresh from her stay on Temptation Island. Erykah Badu shocked the Staples Center audience by revealing her shaved head, while TONI BRAXTON revealed as much Toni Braxton as network television would allow in a vain attempt to erase the memory of Jennifer Lopez. That left Eminem and a man famous for wearing a duck suit to carry the torch for class. Toning down the flamboyance for his duet on Stan, Elton...

...explain, to the simple-minded among us, the precise legal definition of "a constitutional majority of the popular vote"--which would seem, at first glance, to be an utterly meaningless offense against United States law, not to mention the English language. But then, the petition was also signed by Toni Morrison, who has been perpetrating Oprah-peddled offenses against the English language for quite some time--so perhaps the relentless nonsense of the text is to be expected...
