2005 A2K Elections

Since self-nomination seems to be the prevailing method around here, I nominate myself and Gautam for President/Vice-President.

The Prince & The Goddess

...or...

The Goddess & The Prince

Hmmm. Who gets top billing? I'm gonna hafta think about this a little more.

kicky, add eva on the list. i think we can lure gautam, if you just bat your eyelashes enough.

I'm thinking of the platform that a couple guys like
BPB and Husker could have together

In an attempt to qualify for election to this office, I have seasoned my member overnight and am not very happy with the results.

I therefore reluctantly withdraw, but put myself forward as "Overseas Director". I am very good at claimimg ludicrously high expenses, I speak absolute and utter rubbish most of the time, can fall asleep quite easily during any meeting and will only require a moderately luxurious company car.

The Prince can never be the president. How could I stoop so low ??

I was gonna be in for nimh - but then the beer and street rowdiness part of Dag's platform captured my attention. I think right now I'm leanin' toward the street - but mebbe that's just the beer. Mebbe I oughtta just hang back and watch the trendin's of the opinion polls.

One request, though -whoever gets the job, I'd like a cabinet post. How about Secretary of Excess? Wunner if I'd make it through the confirmation hearin's .... I'm certainly qualified, but there'd prolly be some party-line dispute.

Its called Vice-President. You're nominated for it, Soz for President. Sorry - you'll get there still, next time. After Soz has served her two terms.

Oh, but Vice-Presidents too get to have personal assistants. Even foreign-born handsome young 20-year-olds, if that's who you think you can get the best, eh, assistance from.

OK, I see now - I've read up. Jeez. Start some Presidential elections and within five pages, we've got a dictator and a royal putschist. Well, forget about the revolution then - I dont wanna go to jail. Drinking seems a good enough alternative - worked in Eastern Europe for fourty years.

Tho I'll give you this: I'd rather be in Queen Dag's jail than in Sinister George's. Even if it wouldn't feature Catherine the Great-style kinky stuff.

"Sinister George" ??!! Nonsense.

I am the very model of a modern major political figure, and would pursue only the most advanced contemporary political ideas for the advancement of social justice and equality (as I see it). Kinky stuff would be tolerated as long as it doesn't hurt anyone - but not in the prisons. They will be operated with due consideration for all the inmates applying only the most advanced techniques for restoration of self-esteem and the resolution of past social conflicts.

Anyway Nimh has nothing to worry about. He is my Minister of Information.

Oooooooooooooooooohh ... that's low

Can I be...er.....something?

a royal bunny? but of course! in my court you'd be revered and highly respected.

You could be the resident target of the royal hunts

I want to write a campaign song. Whose team am I on?

Mine of course !! Why did you even ask this question ?

Although on second thoughts, princes don't need to run in the election, actually, princes dont need to run anywhere at all, they have slaves to do it for them.

So maybe you should write a song abt my glory.

All hail the power of Gautam's Name! Let angels prostrate fall;(not prostate)
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all.
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all.

Let highborn seraphs tune the lyre, and as they tune it, fall
Before His face Who tunes their choir, and crown Him Lord of all.
Before His face Who tunes their choir, and crown Him Lord of all.

Crown Him, ye morning stars of light, Who fixed this floating ball;
Now hail the strength of India's might, and crown Him Lord of all.
Now hail the strength of India's might, and crown Him Lord of all.

Crown Him, ye martyrs of your God, who from His altar call;
Extol the Stem India's Rod, and crown Him Lord of all.
Extol the Stem of India's Rod, and crown Him Lord of all.

How's that, Prince?

Yr appointment as the royal poetess is confirmed.

(though I could not understand it the first time, and had to get my royal wazir to explain some of the words to me, he had a difficult time convincing me that you were not making fun of me)

DAG! If you discover god you so can NOT be my vice president!!

Although "with Dag as my co-pilot" kinda has a ring to it.

See we're disagreeing already! Much more interesting than the nimh-soz agreements. "You know, I thought for a moment that I might disagree with you but then after I thought a moment more the brilliance of your hypothesis was revealed to me. I'd only add..."

OK I'm so behind (I just found this), Dag's a kinky beer-drinking queen now? I thought that was Gautam?



somuchtroublebyebye...

Want me to do another, oh royal one?

(Oh btw nimh the strands of political thought/ leanings thing sounds way interesting.)
