No, not the cat. In the dog's perfect world, probably the couch -- but then that brings out the real problem with the dog running for office, which is, well, running.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
In 2004, LJ-based fandom had presidential elections. It was awesome, though I don't remember who ended up winning. But people proposed their own candidates -- Boromir and Faramir, Lex and Lionel Luthor, etc.
That was fun. Someone should do it again.
I'd completely forgotten about that, Dana! Good times.
again, I am lisa.
Sorry! Fortunately I brought some nuts with me for afternoon snack (also some chocolate) because I predicted this would happen.

I can't explain it, but this building is totally awesome: Mitsubishi's elevator-testing tower
Mitsubishi has erected a tall, skinny, hollow tower filled with elevator shafts for testing high-speed lifts:
The 173m-high (567ft) structure is called Solae and dominates the skyline of Inazawa City...
The 5bn-yen ($50m;£25m) project will allow Mitsubishi to test new drives, gears, cables and other lift systems.
Don't even get me STARTED on the Electoral College. I went several rounds with my mom last week because I refuse to believe that something the All-Wise Founders thought up in the eighteenth century must necessarily be the best way over two centuries later.
I look at this way. If we had a one person, one vote system would there be any call to go with the electoral college system instead? I grew up in Kansas where voting for the president is for all practical purposes just a waste of time.
