That's it. Enough! I'M running for President!

[Writer]

I'm educated, a good speaker when I'm on my medication, and I look damn good in a suit. Put me up there! I may not know how to deliver speeches, but I'll know how to write them. I'll be the innovative president: I'll send the American people Word documents once in a while with my latest initiatives on health care, the Iraq War, or my pet issue: Removing the month of February from the Gregorian calendar. It only has 28 days (and 29 on leap years.) THAT's not a month! We should remove it and give the left over days to the eleven other REAL months in the calendar. There, I said it. February has brought this country down, and it's time for it to GO.

So let's send Clinton and Obama back to the Senate: Vote for Writer! She knows the months of the year!*

1. As much as I admire you, writer ...

... and don't doubt you'd make a great prez (what with looking great in a suit and all), I cannot vote for you.

My birthday is in February, as is my husband's, and we are not about to lose our birthdays forever - even if it would mean the spreading of freedom and democracy throughout the land.

I do, however, hate the heat - so if you would consider omitting August from the calendar, thereby shortening the summer, I might reconsider my position.

But as things stand, I cannot get on board with a February-hater.

(I will REC this thread, though, just to show there are no hard feelings)

3. You wouldn't lose your birthdays at all.

You'd just be shuffled in to one of the more American months. Think about it: Instead of your birthday being in weenie polysyllabic February you could celebrate your birthday in strong, monosyllabic MARCH. Just say it: "I was born in MARCH!" Not ((february)). MARCH!

I'll email you the Word document. It will explain everything.

2. I'll vote for you, but no donations, damnit.

:P

4. Greatness needs no donations, SA.

;)

5. Ah, self-financed greatness.

;)

[Writer]

6. It's not just greatness. It's Destiny.

7. BTW: Mr. Writer says you all should vote for me.

And the fact that he's a software geek SHOULD NOT preclude me from serious consideration for the highest office in the land. I know he discusses controversial issues like "quality assurance testing" and "object-oriented Perl," but I couldn't disavow him anymore than I could disavow my own family pets.

I hope that one day we can all move past our intolerance for geeks in America. I strive to be our nation's first geek president.
