My platform

In response to some of the comments on the post below:

Marc wonders what my platform would be, he suggests “Two PC’s in every house”. I’m thinking more along the lines of “What do I look like, Santa Claus? Get a job and buy your own stuff!”
It’s not exactly the “caring” platform, but you know what? All that caring, compassionate President stuff is crap anyway.

As we discussed last night, Angela, you’d make a fine First Lady, because when you found the intern under my desk, you’d try and throw me out of the White House. The impending Constitutional controversy of how to handle a President actually being thrown out of the White House by his wife would kill in the media. You know how they all love a good Constitutional controversy! We’d be bigger than the Osbournes!

Geek, I’m afraid Angela’s right. While you could, technically, be the VP, if something happened to me, you’d fall under the Kissinger rule.(Kissinger, when he was Secretary of State would have been, 4th or so in line for the Presidency, but being a native-born German, he would have to have been skipped.) Because you’re not a native-born American they’d skip over you and go to the next person on the list to replace the President. So you would get to be Dennis Hastert’s VP (current Speaker of the House) if something happened to me. *L*

    Reminder – Be Careful with your Likes

    Over on my blog for child abuse survivors, we’ve had a stark reminder of just how many people see if you “like” something on social media.

    I am officially a stud, according to Google: Search for “do that to me one more time i can never get enough of a man like you” Someone actually searched for that, and actually came here.

    Just finished up with getting my old PC installed in it’s new home, and now that I’m hot and sweaty, I figured I’d sit down and write a bit about what I like/dislike in XP after a few days of using it. Things I like: Clear Type -makes the screen so much more eye-friendly, and…

    Various stuff I noticed while catching up: Walmart now has the Microtel PC’s with Mandrake. Now, this may prove to be more of an in-road to the consumer market than the Lindows version was, since Lindows isn’t even a finished OS yet! It’ll be interesting to see if this catches some market share or if…

    Some things to ponder over the weekend: Umm where are you priorities? this story of a man who grilled a kitten has hit the Daypop Top 40, with all of appropriate condemnations, including a letter-writing campaign. That’s all fine, but if that’s blogworthy, where are you people on the abduction, rape, and murder of a…
