Poll question: If You Could Hold Any Elected or Appointed Position In The Country...

What would it be, and why?

Supreme Court justice?
President of the United States?
Vice President?
Secretary of Defense?
Governor of California, New York or Texas?
Dog catcher in Pebble Beach?

2. I'd be Prez..

It's not that I really want the job that much...

I figure I'm a raving psychopath who has a whole lot of emotional baggage.

However, I'm still way more stable than Chimpy. :P

And as a bonus, I can speak intellegently and I am able to read *AND* write. :P

5. This was tough...

I only halfway joke that I've always wanted to be a US Senator - just so I coul dfilibuster. :-) I think it would be neat to get up and just be able to talk about whatever I wanted for as long as I wanted.

But I answered President because if I was President it would mean that chimpy wasn't.

9. Hee...yup

That was too damn funny. I literally just snorted tea all over my desk at work. Thanks for the big laugh.

But I'm thinking I might have a hard time being more obscene than some of the things the rethugs do already.

*smooches*

7. none of the above really...

I'd rather do a behind the scenes kinda gig.
Chief of Staff, Communications Director....
that kind of gig.

Nobody in their right mind would want the POTUS gig.

10. Mayor of Seattle

or a City Council member would be nice, too. Any higher-profile than city office would be too much for me. I voted "other" because I don't consider Seattle a large city or a small town.
