Apologies to David Letterman ...
As you may have read, the Democrats last week settled their deadlocked Senate minority leader race with an old-fashioned heads-or-tails coin toss.

Here are the Top 10 Rejected Senate Minority Leader Tiebreakers:

10. Trivial Pursuit.

9. Hot-dog-eating contest.

8. GOP limbo -- Who can bend over backward the furthest for Mike Waddoups?

7. Knife fight.

6. Airlift both to the top of Kings Peak with a compass, five matches and no Blackberry. First one back to the Capitol wins.

5. Beer pong.

4. Festivus-style feats of strength.

3. Hire Dan Jones to do a public-opinion survey.

2. Bushiest-mustache competition.

1. Let the Republicans decide (like everything else at the Capitol).
