Also, I don't want to see either Kerry or Bush in shorts. It is a thing.

I'd have put up with seeing the latter in lederhosen and a propeller beanie every day if it would have changed the last election. Of course, that's more or less my mental image of him anyway...

Physical competition for the presidency.

You realize this might result in President Schwarzenegger if he could put on a humble act long enough?

Outdoor Games presidential competition

All of the events should be named after former presidents.

The Washington cherry tree chopping contest.

The Taft sled pull.

The Nixon timed hotel breaking and entering contest.

The Reagan nap-off.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Physical competition for the presidency.

President Robocop

President He-Man

President Xena

Nah. He's so 'roided, he's probably pretty...ahem...limp. A wirey, yet strong opponent would have Ahnald puking his guts up in no time. Kerry could so take him. Edwards is a jogger, right? Please, somebody force Chaney to run up Capitol Hill. pleeeeeaaase.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Ooh, President M.A.N.T.I.S. -- one small step for exoskeletons, one giant leap for the differently-abled!

I think, to compete fairly, Batman would not be allowed all of his tools, only some of them.

Superman was not born in the U.S., so he would not be allowed to be president.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh lord, did you people see about Cheney passing his physical in the paper over the weekend? It was WAY TMI.

President Mansquito!

Your search - "president mansquito" - did not match any documents.

I am ahead of my time....

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Are there rules about species that would disqualify Mansquito?

More to the point, does he have opposable thumbs to grasp the axe-handle with? Certainly, he would win hands-down on the tree-climbing enterprise, needing neither rope nor toe-pitons.

I was outside the Office of the Physician of the Capitol one day. (Can't say we don't have royal titles around here) Standing around with a bunch of too young doctors with loads of very expensive equipment, staring at a kid who felt pukey sitting on floor. A guard walked by, scanned the scene and said, "Oh, I thought Chaney was here." Big confidence builder.

I'm not surprised that Chaney's phyical would publicly spawn TMI. LOOK, he's not dead! Really. Not to worry.
