How will the Brown stand-off end?

[Joey Smith]

Vote early, vote often.

[The Observer]

Way too many good choices.

But you left out:

Bob Schulz will file a petition with Congress and then ask the Browns to send him donations.

Elaine will spend many, many years in jail, thinking about that fateful moment when she said, "Sure Ed, I guess we'll try it your way".

Ed will spend many, many years in jail, improving on his Manson imitation until you can no longer tell the original from the copy. Eventually, medical science will discover a cure for all of the brain damage caused by the pesticides he inhaled as an exterminator, but it will be too late for Ed.

BTW, I still predict that Ed will get tasered in the local supermarket while trying to decide between Ho-Hos and Ding-Dongs. Elaine will then surrender peacefully.

I doubt that Elaine would psychologically survive the combination of prison and the lack of Ed dictating her every action.

Ed is the guy who gets beat up because he refuses to give up his seat in the cafeteria to those who have been there longer.

There are women in prison who would be more than happy to play the role of Ed. That's good (that she has an Ed substitute) and bad for Elaine. On the other hand, maybe her cellmate will treat her better and she'll regain some self-esteem.

Maybe she'll write a book about how she was a victim of Ed's monmania and psychological domination. It'll be an Oprah recommendation, and then a Lifetime movie.
