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 was just thinking of nominating Bill D, then I saw that he had already volunteered.

Was the pluralization of virtue a typo?

And very nice virtues they are too Bill. I'll accept the job - it does mean I can be very bossy, doesn't it?

nawwww...*grin*..'virtue' is a different sort of label....kinda of a sweeping moral generalization! I ain't got that.

No, Peace! Bill D has many virtues; why he can even sing.

The White House bowling alley would be converted into a wood lathe workshop and a trail of wood shavings would leave evidence of Bills coming and going no matter how the white house staff tried to keep up.

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?

Bill certainly has the political skills. Wood turners are masters of spin.

*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.

I reckon Chongo should have a go... let's face it, he can't make a bigger cock up of it than the present incumbent is doing can he?

YEah, but, guys, seriously now...he's imaginary. Not only that, he is Canadian imaginary! And to top it all off, he was imagined up only a few years ago. So forget about the Chongo for President idea.

Whaddaya mean, he's imaginary? Hell.. what am I going to tell his children now?

Unless he's from Quebec...

We had a pro wrestler as Gov. of Minnesota, and a country songwriter as Gov. of Oklahoma....we have had crooks and racial separatists (Faubus, Wallace) and categories too scary to mention...*grin*...

I think we are an equal opportuniy country...ANY fool can get elected. Hey...maybe I have a chance!

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.
