"...Be Careful What You Ask (Vote) For...."

it was suggested to me again recently (facetiously, I assume) that I should run for President...

here's the thing...I...

....have never been a community organizer...
....think that positions and opinions I had before, say, five years ago would be fair game in any campaign...
...have never been accused of being a socialist, communist or fundamentalist (although, I plead mea culpa to being a satirist, humorist, pessimist and marital recidivist)...
...use all three of my names, associating me, therefore, according to a doorknob station owner/past employer, as a serial killer/potential assassin (you know...John Wilkes Booth, John Wayne Gacy, Mark David Chapman, Lee Harvey Oswald, William Howard Taft, John Quincy Adams, James Knox Polk, Martin Luther King, Mary Tyler Moore, Charles Nelson Reilly, Jennifer Love Hewitt, et al) ...
...agree with the philosophy that "when you talk, you are only repeating what you already know, but when you listen, you might learn something new.."...
...believe that government should be neither, necessarily, big OR small but should, in fact, be like salt...just enough to do the job but not so much as to defeat the purpose...
...think Jed Bartlet should be elected president and those running for real should just be given recurring roles on one NBC show or another...





...passionately believe that we are long overdue to have a woman in the Oval Office but my brain is all scrambled with overlapping images of Clinton and Jenner, with a little Chaz Bono thrown in, and I honestly don't know what to do here...
...am convinced that those who have chosen our leaders for the past, say, twenty years or so, have made a real f***up of it all and should be replaced, but, then, realize, oh, wait a second, it was us..uh oh...
...would instinctively govern with common sense, reason and zero tolerance for any thing less, pretty much guaranteeing that I would be maligned, sandbagged, impeached and/or assassinated before the first mid terms rolled around...
...expect I would feel perfectly comfortable around Bill Maher, Bill O'Reilly, Rachel Maddow, Sean Hannity, Chris Matthews, Megyn Kelly, Rush Limbaugh..and Ellen...which would pretty much drive 99% of Internet commenters crazy...
...have come to terms with McDreamy being dead...
...am still irritated that I can't figure out if Red is Lizzie's real father or what...
...prefer to continue writing, publishing and doing my broadcasts...so that those who disagree with and/or dislike me can just move on, log off or tune out and not have to land a gyro on my front lawn...
...think that an ability to lighten the f*** up will always get you farther in life than an ability to shoot the place up....

and...

...I believe that people believe in other people when those other people prove that they are worthy of being believed....and, believe it or not, then and only then......

obviously, I am totally unqualified to be President......

...three names notwithstanding...
