After three arduous weeks of legal battles and recounts, the American people can now know one thing for sure - what a pregnant chad is.

Too bad they still don't know who their new president is.

Not officially, anyway. But really, it's all just a formality now. After every Florida recount - machine, manual - Texas Gov. George W. Bush has eked out a majority of the votes. Florida Secretary of State Kathleen Harris' announcement on Sunday that she had certified the state election in favor of Bush seemingly plucked the final petal from Vice President Al Gore's wilting flower of a presidential attempt.
