I look forward to being one DU, soon. However.........
I will miss some of the jousting. What will we argue about? McCain? I sincerely hope that EVERYONE comes along. We need to WIN. For just a couple of small reasons.

17. D'oh!
This is the 1,712,347th time I've posted something, only to see someone beat me to it by the time my twitchy fingers peck out a post.

Hey, maybe I'll start a flamewar about that!:think:

And I misspelled Willie, too.:freak:

13. He does have a green card, anyway.
Sure, why not?

If he won't take the post, Willy Nelson might be a good choice. He certainly understands something about certain types of agriculture.

32. Canadian
Otherwise he'd be a good pick.

I'm sure Secretary of Agriculture is way way down the line of Succession, but as long as the Bush Crime Family's still around, you can never be too careful.

Of course John Mellencamp and Willie Nelson (the other Farm Aid partners) are all American.

57. So that's how it is, huh?
Why don't you go back to Merceris44.com and tell all your friends about your antics?

And say hello to President John W. McSame this November. Enjoy your half a tank of gas and Rick Astley and Kirk Cameron being appointed to the Supreme Court!

and I'm sure some of the real oldtimers would tell you there hasn't been a shortage since the day the site went up. Fear not.

We'll have both houses and the executive to boot. Just get a couple of SC Justices to step down and we'll be full-steam ahead :)

before some bitter Mercerbot swooped in to remind us all about that. I'm not saying he doesn't have great qualities like honesty and charisma (all three) but can't we all just have time to lick our wounds?

since they're not Amurkan and all. And now you Mercerites want to change the rules in the fourth quarter with 30 seconds left on the clock and no timeouts left?

I think not, sir. I think not!

Ponies are good. I gotta admit. Cabinet positions might get us through the spring. But - my guess is that enough of the blue and yellow dogs will still be around for us to bicker about them. Here I'll start - Leonard Boswell? Seriously? He's a Democrat?

If you really care about the future and whether or not we stay in Iraq you need to vote Dem this year no matter what. Please understand that doing anything else seems to be traitorous to everyone who wants to see the end of Bush and all the old bastards who supported this criminal regime and helped to deceive us.
