Drop the Whole Prez Thing?

[kathy stl]

Ok, this is a take off on my war against drugs thread, which caused me no end of grief, but so what? If ya remem that thread ya know that I am a non-voter, no, it's not that I don't, I can't. Not allowed. So with all this "every" vote must count stuff going on down in Florida (is that really still a part of the US? thought Disney did an IPO and took it into the private sector - ok, my gf wrote that line, no idea what an IPO is) anyway, take a big breath, I sort of don get the big deal.

So here's my deal, I am not missing not having a President, I still go to the bar every day, sling some beer, earn my tips, juss about make the nut to pay my bills. Anybody wanna juss drop the whole idea? Or maybe appoint Martin Sheen by some acclamation thing?

Please don stone me for this one.

...ok, my gf wrote that line, no idea what an IPO is...

First to address the important issue. IPO is Initial Public Offering, the first sale of stock when a company becomes traded on a public stock exchange.

As to appointing someone, let's sort out the bozos currently contending (and that is intended to include the Supreme Court bozos). It will be hard to do worse but I'm sure an appointment will manage to achieve that.

Not to be bitchy or anything just pointing something out, we do have a president. His name is Bill Clinton.

Diminishing returns

We'll have a different pres come Jan. 21st, but an ineffective one. Whoever turns out to be the last man standing, he's going to have a teeny-tiny mandate. With a divided congress and a disillusioned public, he's going to have a hard time getting much done. And I think no chance of getting re-elected in 2004.

I'm caring less and less who 'wins'. The prize is getting smaller every day.

Ok Julieangel, ya got me. But have we ever had a president named Bill Clinton? as in "president"? A good guy friend tells me that men don't care about what he did with Monica (neither do I). But he says it works like this for men, Bill Clinton is pathetic for getting blowjobs from a dumpy intern in a closet, John Kennedy is a great man for sleeping with Marilyn Monroe in the Lincoln bedroom.

But more fun, in another thread, RonG gave this definition of voter. "Vote, n: The instrument and symbol of a freeman's power to make a fool of himself and a wreck of his country."
