What? No mainstream media covering this? Shocking!

If this country gets any more apathetic or ignorant, we'll end up with a B actor as president. Oh, wait, that's already happened.

I offer one point of dispute, and one point of hope.

1) Bedtime for Bonzo was a classic! Whaddaya mean, B actor?

2) If the USA gets any more apathetic or ignorant, you're going to end up with an A-list actor as president. And, just to paint the lily, he'll even be another former Governor of California!

Hi,

Which is which?

Neither is either.

Oh, my! What if his running mate is an ex-seal that the seals say wasn't a seal? And do we really want to know that that guy up there in the claw hammer tails isn't wearing skivvies?

Ouch.

A cynic once suggested that the next president will be either Arnold or George W. For the benefit of those outside the US, both are constitutionally disqualified -- for the moment anyhow.

I'd be more inclined to vote for Helen Gahagan.

I liked "Hellcats of the Navy". But, if you want to minimize a man's life by his worst film, I guess...

There are at least 3 things wrong with the suggestion, 1) natural born citizen, 2) not really a Republican so he won't win his parties endorsement, 3) not popular in California anymore.

I don't think dead people are qualified either. If we must choose from the living actor pool, then I'd have to go for Raquel Welch for President.

Wouldn't dream of missing an opportunity to help deflate the over-mythologized Gipper.

1) Easily fixed with a quick Constitutional Amendment.

2) He's still more Republican than Mitt Romney was, before he suddenly discovered he wasn't so liberal, just in time for his own primary shot.

3) California's a writeoff for the Republicans anyway.

Obama ran a campaign on the promise of change. The six rational people (five of whom post on this board) in the world took this to mean that he would try to leave the country in somewhat better shape after his 4 or 8 years in office. The remainder of the world expected peace, prosperity, and good weather the day after the inauguration.

Aye. You cannot begin climbing back up the slope again until you first stop rolling arse-over-teakettle off the side of the mountain.

People are moaning about why they're not flying back to the peak yet.

It makes you wonder why they didn't fire the stage coach drivers (well, at least Henry Paulsen got the boot). Bernanke, and Geitner are still at the wheel, ready to guide us off the next cliff.
