It’s Presidential Election Time Again…Have You Noticed?

Yes it is time to be bombarded about the Presidential Election…again. That’s the bad news. The worst news is it has already been going on for a long time and it is going to be going on all the way until November of NEXT year. There ought to be a law to prevent this because this is Cruel and Unusual Punishment.
We are presently involved picking our next ruler and much of what we do to pick our next ruler does not make sense. We have certain standards and our standards many times have nothing to do with the qualifications that an office seeker ought to have.
Would you vote for a president who was bald? You just said to yourself that you certainly would but would you really do that?
Here is a list of disqualifiers that would certainly be hot discussion topics by the folks back home if such candidates were offered up for consideration to be President of the United States of America.
Coffee Shop Conversation…
  • “That guy has a brilliant organized mind, is highly educated and has 22 years of experience in the successful governance of the largest city in America but I could never vote for him because he is too fat.”
  • “That guy has an impeccably flawless ability to analyze any situation correctly and determine the proper course of action but he is too short.”
  • “I see what you are saying. I fully agree that he is the only one who could possible save us from the impending doom that is upon us but do you see that huge space between his front teeth? When you get right down to it, you can’t trust anyone with a gap that big.”
Again the Smartfella? does not just make silly things up. He is very proud that he has an unblemished record of proposing specific and detailed plans of action to remedy what he makes silly about.
I say put the name of everyone wanting to be president into a hat and have Justin Bieber reach in and pick out our next ruler.
I can hear you saying, “That would be foolish”. My comeback to you is … “Are you telling me that the way we do it now is not foolish?”
On the other hand, why don’t be forget the hat and simply appoint Justin Bieber to the job. He may not be qualified but he is Good Looking, he has Great Hair and, most importantly, he does not have a gap in his front teeth.
The best part is he could go out on the North Portico on weekends and sing to his subjects all across The Fruited Plain.
Would I kid u?
