So she's still doing well, I think, but I suppose she just graduated. (Are we allowed to do that?)

We seem to have had a better system back when it was HEW (Health, Education and Welfare). But Nixon changed that. I am pained that much of the damage done to our country was done by Republican presidents, just trying to get along. That's what fears me about McCain. AJ, NJL was referring to Obama, but I got the hint. Kyle A is in for SecEd. We seem to have had a better system back when it was HEW (Health, Education and Welfare). But Nixon changed that.

The real AJ is right in asking the important questions as he did in the previous post (#40). As a concerned citizen of this fine land, he has every right to fully know the candidates in question. Therefore I shall answer his concerns in the way I know best: honestly. 1) Do you duck hunt? Justus: no, but as the self-proclaimed psycho chef, I often hunt for the best roast duck on the menu in this area. It is sooooo yummy. 2) Have you ever shot anyone while duck hunting? Justus: NO! But I was shot at while serving in the US air force back in the 80's during a "anti-nukes protest at our main gate. 3) Do you own Haliburton stock? Justus: no, but I used to have a crush on Halle Berry! ;) Real AJ wrote: The jury is still out on the class and dignity thing though. This is politics. Justus: Right, and I never claimed to be normal either, my brother. :D Good morning, my fellow citizens of World on the Web!

I would dismatle the department and then resign. McCain should pick Huckabee. He will probably pick Romney or Pawlenty. I won't be voting for him, so I really don't care. Obama should pick Biden, and I think he will. Of course, he will be utterly hypocritical in choosing a white man, but no Democrat will say so. There will be self-congratulation about how diverse the ticket is, even without a woman or hispanic or another black person on it.

Are we talkin' about you, or Obama? Which one? And thanks for the VP offer. I'm quite sure Justus would be better suited as a VP. But first some questions for him. We don't need any surprises later. Justus, Sorry, but Sawgunner has been tapped for the Sec. of Defense position. You'd be a fine VP though. Now just a few questions. Do you duck hunt? Have you ever shot anyone while duck hunting? Do you own Halibutron stock? If your answer is no to these questions, you're in. I think we have a good pro-life platform. The jury is still out on the class and dignity thing though. This is politics. Arcadia, I don't think the court is the right place for you. In fact, I've never been so sure of anything in my life. But we do some positions open elsewhere :) We need someone for the CDC. And we still have some diplomatic positions? Do you like warm, dry climates? And there's always the "Rendition Express". I could get you a seat near Alec Baldwin. You really travel alot with that one though, mostly by boat. Whatever you prefer.

I am bilingual, and a teacher (I also am a member of the NEA, which could get you a big endorsement, even if neither of us agrees with them on anyhting). I also have no skeletons in the closet. Maybe. Chas- Since all the others have dropped out, consider an American of Puerto Rican descent.
