It's a Bipolar World

Message John August
I was recently inspired by David Lindorff's muse to add my own list of 20 reasons why I feel I'm uniquely qualified to be VP or have any other job based on Sarah Barracuda's logic:

1. I've dated beauty queens, therefore I'm an authority on intelligence and natural selection.

2. I have even surfed big waves. I'm sure to qualify as a hydrologist or dam (sic) engineer.

3. I could even be a dictator. At least as good as our current Dick Tator, aka Mr. Potato Head, Richard Cheney. (If it weren't for his pacemaker he'd be a vegetable too.)

4. I can turn on a light switch. I have confidence to be an authority on power plays.

5. I've killed and eaten rattlesnakes. Dealing with Vladimir Putin would be cake. He don't even have fangs.

6. I can brush my teeth and even go to the bathroom by myself. Being a bioweapons expert would be microbial in comparison.

7. I've been very unsuccessful at business. As a top executive I could run the country even further into the ground than our current CEO. It's a no brainer job. Having one is evidently a disqualification.

8. I am very good at reading between the lines. With all that experience in dealing with space, I think I'm more than qualified to be an astronaut.

9. I've shot guns of all calibers. Heck, I can press a button and shoot off a missile just as easily as shooting off my mouth or pulling a nuclear trigger.

10. I'm an authority on money, credit, and cash flow because I have wallet. Managing the economy of a country is just a matter of deception.

11. I have a lot of friends no one else can see or hear. Therefore, I'm more than qualified at foreign correspondence.

12. The glasses I wear help me with vision. I can even see into the future. Not to mention being an expert at surveillance.

13. You can fool me once, you can fool me, uh... with that kinda background I can be a world class fool.

14. I've had square offices and round ones. I can run an oval office just as easy. It's just plane geometry after all.

15. I know how to pop blisters and put on bandaids. Surgical strikes are just bigger blowups and coverups.
