Well, if the White House is relocated to Florida then Camp David needs to be relocated. Key West would be a fine location for the new Camp David, or even Saint barts would even be a better place for the new retreat. While we are at it, Camp David needs a new name such as "One Particular Harbor."

Seriously, if all of this even had an element of truth to it this country surely would go to hell, but at least we would be having more fun going to hell.

Before we move Camp David, let JB have his first concert there. It's only about 30 minutes from my house........ :o :D :pirate:

But, I agree, the White House would need to be moved to Key West (I think I mentioned the possibility of using the Truman Complex previously) so JB can get his daily fish sandwiches delivered from BO's....... :roll:

I'm really digging this new administration and I LOVE the idea of St. Bart's being the new Camp David...

Now we need a theme song. :lol:

Well, since the name of the administration would be Don't Stop the Carnival, maybe there is a theme song on that album that would be fitting. As I don't have that album yet, but hope to have it soon, I can't be of help here.

While Don't stop the carnival is a good album I'm thinking he could write a new song for the campaign.

Actually could you see him put to music his campaign position. Gotta admit no other cantidate could communicate better.

Well, obviously Margaritaville is the anthem, but yes the CAMPAGNE (i think it campaign should be spelled this way for this administration....it's more like Champagne) needs a theme song....I remember Bill Clinton's was "Don't Stop Believing" ? Wasn't it? Anyway, I am fond of "In Spite of Ourselves" by John Prine for a campagne theme song. Check it out on youtube....

Minister of Rum, reporting for duty :pirate:

as my first objective, I would access the "strategic rum reserves" just for quality assurance of course and share with everyone - maybe we could institute daily rum issues like the British Navy used to :D

seriously - if you ever watch Charleston during a concert, he scans the crowd with the intensity of a Secret Service agent but without the mirrored shades 8)
you can't lay on the beach and drink rum all day if you don't start in the morning 8)

Unfortunately, Bono would be able to accept since he was born in Ireland.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

President Buffett could address the nation only via Radio Margaritaville and put the major news organizations in a bind! :pirate:

Wouldn't that be a shame????? :o :roll:

And it would be fitting for his old cars & trucks to be restored and placed in the Smithsonian, too. Wonder if Jerry Jeff Walker could find the old Packard? The Hemisphere Dancer hung in the Air & Space Museum. The list goes on......

Don't forget to order enough mingos to cover the south lawn of the White House........ 8)
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Pinot Noir in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO"
