I'm so tired of all this partisan bickering, so I finally had to do something about it. Get active... we can change this country!
Please Vote For Me! Anne Bryant-Hamon for President

If self obsession is a prerequisite for the position you're a galloping certainty.

Jim,

You are a lot of fun!

A friend sent me hers, and I thought it might be worth a few laughs to make my own. Oh well. Thank God you are not self-obsessed like me! It would be terrible if we all were.

Anne

Well it's quite funny, and you have my vote, so how can you lose?

That's a good idea, Anne. Here are some slogan suggestions:

VOTE FOR ANNE BRYANT-HAMON - A CANDIDATE WHO'S TOO BUSY BLATHERING ABOUT HERSELF TO EVER START A WAR.

SELF-INVOLVEMENT '08

ANNE! ANNE! ANNE! ANNE! ME! ME! ME! '08 AND ALWAYS!

Also - get a new campaign manager. The old one apparently either stole an idea and approach that the Juster people introduced four days ago, or didn't even notice it, because it was on one of those boring boards where all people usually do is talk about poetry.
Here's a link to the Juster Juggernaut

(Note also that, by enlisting a highly respected poet to launch his campaign, Mike Juster was able to remain above the fray - a lesson for many of us.)

Anne, you've got my vote.

There's just one problem, I don't have a green card (despite my name).

I'm also interested to see who you choose to run with you as your Vice President.

Obama and McCain are not going to know what hit them!

Kind Regards,

Chris

Thanks, Chris - I appreciate your vote.

Michael - who says I didn't know Juster was running? Be careful about ASSumptions. They have a way of biting you in the butt.

NEWS CHANNEL 3.14159:
With so much at stake, there is one candidate that may be able to make the difference. Can we talk to you, candidate Meyer?

Meyer:
Yeah, I know about steak. You can't cut it with one hand. If you can't do it with one hand, it's all crap - to hell with it.

NEWS CHANNEL 3.14159:
And thus was born his campaign slogan, "It's all crap - to hell with it." Meyer has surprised both Democrats and Republicans with a grass roots effort. Care to talk about it, Mr. Meyer?

Meyer:
What do you mean, "grass roots"? They're no good... well yeah, I bought a couple of 45's by them, but the Grassroots are no Quicksilver Messenger Service, are they?

NEWS CHANNEL 3.14159:
Have you a running mate?

Meyer:
I've been talking to Balin about it.

NEWS CHANNEL 3.14159:
But she's on the GOP ticket.

Meyer:
No, knucklehead, I said Balin, with a "B" - Marty Balin, from the Jefferson Airplane.

NEWS CHANNEL 3.14159:
Mr. Meyer, do you think you deserve the White House?

Meyer:
Hell no! Nobody does. The place is worthless. Maybe turn it into a homeless shelter. At least then it will have some value.

NEWS CHANNEL 3.14159:
This candidate has made many wonder: Why does he even bother? This is NEWS CHANNEL 3.14159, where you can hear your pi and eat it too, signing off.

Robert -

That's the spirit. Everyone likes apple Pi, don't they?
I guess we're in a dead heat, you and me
