Not sure how any people could make it work, but another thought would be Secretary General of the United Nations. Gott in Himmel, that would 'splode every rightwingnutjobz head, heart, and heinie in one flash of flesh around the planet.

" ... because whatever our differences, we all love this country and care fiercely about our children’s futures."

Cribbing from JFK. I like it.

Chapter 1 - The Challenge

King Bharraq had been studying the maps upon his desk all evening. It was almost midnight and the King was tired. The oil lamps burned low and the only sound in the King’s Elliptic Office was the steady song of a whetstone sharpening a steel blade. The King’s loyal henchman, Mighty Bhiden of Delaware, had spent the whole evening with the king, putting razor edges upon the various weapons that the barbarian carried everywhere.

“Come, old friend, let us make our way to the palace kitchens” said the king, standing up and stretching his arms and back, “Mayhap there is a bottle of wine available. Perhaps we can find some bread and some cold meat and cheese to snack upon.”

Mighty Bhiden replied, while splitting a hair upon the edge of his battle-axe, “I say ‘nay’ to the wine my king! But if there is a cask of good stout ale down there I will footrace you to see who can get there first!”

They both laughed and started to walk, side by side, to the door.

They had barely taken three steps when the door burst open and a madman rushed in, grasping a dagger overhead! The robed lunatic was shouting something about the purity of the Hyborian Races!

But this assassin, like so many before, had no chance of success! For with a single bound forward and one sweep of his Delaware steel war axe, Mighty Bhiden sent the madman’s head rolling across the palace floor!

King Bharraq sighed. “My beloved Michelle will be grieved to have to replace this office rug…again.”

Mighty Bhiden retrieved the madman’s dagger. He inspected it closely and then he put it to his nose and inhaled deeply. “My king, this dagger comes from the domain of our enemy…Donaldus Maximus or I’m a tavern tart! And it reeks of desperation!”

King Bharraq stared at the dagger in Bhiden’s hand for a moment. He then walked back to his desk and studied one of the maps there. He then looked up and locked eyes with his barbarian henchman. They both smiled.

“He has moved too soon!” said the king.

“To WAR!” replied Mighty Bhiden. “But first, my king, let us not delay on our way to the kitchens! For, as you well know, slaying is hungry and thirsty work!”

He might try his hand at judging a few beauty pageants.

Donald sure won't like that.

That's a bit scary.

Bernie's threat to shut down committees led by people who've criticized him is putting me in mind of Ted Cruz.

THAT WAS INCREDIBLE. And props also to Tweety, who would not let Weaver off the hook, re "You say Donald is sneaky because he won't release his taxes. Is Bernie sneaky too?'

I agree. Obama in 08 was like climbing Everest, storming the Bastille and landing on the surface of the moon all at the same time. This really is more like cleaning out the basement and making sure that the medical bills are filed away for next year's tax return. Necessary, important even, but not thrilling. Still it must be done. So excited. Yeehaw.

Don't forget Mrs Obama, Biden, and even Bernie if he doesn't go sulk. The Dems have some nifty people to campaign for blue.

He actually sounds a lot like Donald Trump in his threats and bull shit lawsuits, and how he wants anyone who criticizes him to be punished.

'Elkhart’s unemployment rate has dropped from 19.6% to 4.1% today, according to the Office of Management and Budget. Manufacturing and graduation rates in Elkhart have also significantly improved from 2009.'See? The US has become a hellhole thanks to Obama, just like Der Drumpf has been saying all along!

I remember when people were saying the same thing about Bill, especially during the Florida mess.

Republicans do love talking about Obama shoving things down their throats.
