Well I can't run because I wasn't born in The USA.

So who is up for it?

I'd even vote Republican if Doug R was running.

I believe it is customary to have a Press Secretary or spokesman with a Greek surname (Stefanopoulos etc), so can I put in for that?

*grin*.....I can see there will be no dearth of helpful suggestions.

"Bill D, will you be providing your own moniker?
(did I spell this right?)" Close enough. (and because of your creative spelling, you would be a FINE press secretary!)

There would need to be an extensive analytical testing process to determine the right moniker! Perhaps multiple monikers would be needed for various occasions.

Yeah, but I don't think imaginary animals qualify as citizens. My deity Harvey tried for years to get a passport, but they couldn't figure out how to get his picture int heir. Besides, the President has to be physically at least 35, I think, although it is obvious mental age is no barrier.

Well the incumbent Mudcat rulers have not, of late, displayed the judgment of Solomon, so I have a different suggestion.

Reverse the declaration of independence and I'll play King George, and send the US army into Ireland.

Then I'll get them to send the Rev Ian Paisley and Gerry Adams into Iraq.



That should solve those problems.

Maybe the Mudcat rulers could send the Shambles to Afghanistan.

My chapeau has been encicled since the 2004 election for US President. My platform is quite simple and is as follows:

1. Since I'm only in it for the retirement benefits, I promise (in writing) to retire the first day I'm eligible for them.

2. I'll do my very best not to screw it up too badly until then.
