Write in any candidate for Prez of the good ole USA here. Or, write in someone for a fellow A2Ker.
Not American? So what, vote anyway!
Voting for a dead guy? Hey, no problem, I hear they do that in some major cities all the time.
Too young to vote? Not here!
Wanna vote for >1 person? Sure!
Wanna vote for a non-human? Go for it!
Me, I'm voting for the Wizard of Id but that may change.....
We get only one vote? Have to mull this over..'
(Thinking, Sister Mel. She'd make the whole world into baseball teams..)

When did I say that you only get one vote?! Take several!
I'm adding the 2004 and 2007 Red Sox, although that does mean that Curt Schilling gets to be President. Twice.
Congress could use a good make-over.....
B-AAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA
Someone should get him out of those awful raybans though..

Milan Simecka
Quote:milan simecka
Milan Simecka was born in 1930 in the Czech town of Novy Bohumin. Orphaned by the war, he attended university in Brno on a state stipendium, studying Russian and Czech literature. He moved to Bratislava in 1954 where he taught at the university and then the School of Performing Arts. After the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, Simecka was dismissed from the university and thrown out of the party. His life became devoted to dissident activities and trying to maintain an independent culture. During the years of Soviet occupation Simecka was prolific in having his articles and essays translated and published abroad, and it was for this that he was jailed in 1981-1982. After the revolution in 1989 and Václav Havel's assuming the presidency, Simecka was appointed advisor to the president on Czech-Slovak relations, heading the team of presidential advisors. He remained at this post until his death in September, 1990.
But....more importantly, he was the kindest, sweetest, wisest, and gentlest man alive.
and hey hey, what do you know, you can buy his Letters from Prison easily online! I helped to translate them and you'll read a sentence about me here and there.
Awesome! Carson would, of course, totally make over the White House. Woody would bring a touch of song and much more of an interest in the poor than practically anyone. I've never heard of Simeka (reading).
PS I might add Scooby Doo to the mix, seeing as articulateness hasn't exactly been favored in the Oval Office lately.
Stumble It!
