Meanwhile In Election Land

[silverdee]

I have been forced to take time away from hurricane tracking to pay attention to the McCain campaign. I think that John McCain should have asked me to be his running mate instead of Sarah Palin. If he was looking to really shock the political world, I certainly could have done the job

AND you have the cutest dogs! Think of the photo ops!

But I think you should set your sights higher - El Presidenta!

[silverdee]

Thank you for reminding me of my precedence over Sarah in the dog department. Yes, my Corgis and I would make people think of the Queen of England and her long years of service with no real qualification for the position. So not VP or El Presidenta! Nope, I'm now shooting for Queen!

Honestly, I was ready to chuckle at this entry until it dawned on me that you make excellent points. Dee for VP!

[silverdee]

Why thank you! I think you would make a fine Secretary of Meteorology and Geology. Or if you prefer you could head up the new Department of Homeland Public Radio.

Ohh, ohh, what's *my* portfolio?

I know I'm a durn foreigner, but I ~do~ get a portfolio, don't I?

I'm thinking Secretary of English Literature...I'll go into schools and pummel young children with copies of Austen and Dickens...

[silverdee]

You could be English Literature Liaison for the Former Colonies of Great Britain. You'd have global influence and lots of travel to Australia, India, Burma and other fun places. You'll do a fine job pummeling youth with books because even after Harry Potter, they still don't read enough!

Oh, I could definitely see it.

[silverdee]

Woohoo! I have my own banner already!

[silverdee]

I'm adding this to the post!

[weather_fan]

I really think you're starting something here. This thing's got legs.

NOOOO! You can't! Then people might actually vote for McCain :P

[silverdee]

I'd love to be Barack Obama's running mate, too. But he obviously had a team of smart people vetting his choice unlike McCain. I think McCain threw a dart at a map of the US, barely hit the edge and landed on Alaska. Then his team had to scramble to find any politician from Alaska that would work. Ta da! Sarah!
