Instead of joining the ongoing political discussions on the other three threads, I hereby announce my candidacy for President of the United States. If elected, I promise to allow all BN'ers tickets to their Buffett show of choice. (increased amounts of tickets can be linked to amounts of campaign contributions.)

Not only do I ask for your support, I am also asking for four things from the fellow Parrotheads:

1. People to step forward and join my campaign in cabinent positions.

2. Money

3. Someone to tell me what the issues are so I can decide what my stance is on them

4. A sense of humor from everyone on this thread.

1. People to step forward and join my campaign in cabinent positions.

What positions are available?

2. Money

I have a penny.

3. Someone to tell me what the issues are so I can decide what my stance is on them

Issues? We don't need no steekin issues!

4. A sense of humor from everyone on this thread.

Always!!

All positions are open from VP to janitor.

Well, I kinda think your best friend should be your VP

Sign me up for PR...

Then help me make up some lies we can use.

I would like to volunteer for the position of Center of the Universe. If I can have that, I'll send money.

Send $$$ my way people!

Ah... but are you open to all positions?

MEMO: Status Report

Okay, Parrottheads, the upcoming election is going to be a tough one, but our unique combination of tenacity, comradery, and drunkedness will pull us through to November when we elect our first ever Parrotthead President of the United States of America - ILPH!!! (me )

We've got a fine crew of pirates ready to take over the White House, let me introduce who's on board so far:

President: ILPH
Known for his sense of humor and lack of attractiveness, ILPH plans on making all hot girls date below their league. He is also a firm believer that Jimmy Buffett concerts would make a great alternative to war, so any surrendering Al Queda officers will be treated to free lawn seats and the Buffett concert of their choice, and a Presidential tailgate. (If they still want to be terrorists after that, well there's no hope for them and will be dealt with sternly and appropriately.) He is running on an interesting agenda of positivity, fun, and Anheuser Busch products. (AB is a major contributor to campaign parties)

Vice President: Brown Eyed Girl
Don't blink! You'll miss her. Given BEG's driving experience, Andretti as some staffers call her, will not only preside over the Senate, but also drive the Presidental motorcade and instead of hiding in bunkers and making shady business deals, BEG will spend her free time teaching Driver's Ed. Another strong point in BEG's position will be the uncanny ability to be any and everyone's best friend and find the parrotthead in everyone, especially Delta Airlines employees.

Public Relations: Desdamona
You think you've got dirt on ILPH? Ha! Desdamona, the Parrotthead Party's Public Relations Chair begs to differ. You don't stand a chance against her spin machine. Bill O'Reilly may say "the spin stops here," but where did the spin start to begin with? Right here on Des's keyboard, my friends! From not inhaling to now swallowing, she's covered it all up!

So there you have it and there you are, the beginnings of the Parrotthead Party's roster of future incumbents. Please feel free to join the party! We might not win, but by God, we'll have fun doing it!

I'll do security.

However, I refuse to take a bullet for you. For that matter, I refuse to put myself in any position of potential danger. I could always boss around people that ARE willing to do it though.

Alright, you sound like a take charge kind of guy. I like that. You're head of security.

Everyone, everyone, excuse me for a second, I would like to announce that SailingAgain is now in charge of security. You see that chair over there? He'll be sitting there doing nothing but delegating. Just so you know.

ok, well I can't offer you my vote until you answer my previous question...

I'll try anything once!

Anything for a vote!

ok, you've got my vote... now, where do I fit into this party.... *thinking hard*

Can I be in the Liquor Cabinet? (not the lick-her cabinet)

How dare you say I'll be doing nothing. I'll be sitting in my chair, drinking myself into a coma while telling others what to do. That's far from nothing. In fact, I consider that "muti-tasking".

I'd like to apply for an internship...........
