Dec 2011

just read another thread, on Perry not qualifying for the VA 'Puke primary.

made me wonder if this country should have a "Shadow Presidency", along the lines of the Brit "Shadow Cabinets", or the various Govts. in Exile; or, perhaps, the High School Conferences' "Model UN General Assembly".

all these whackjobs can have their own supporters, run their own campaigns, elect their own congress & president, and pretend to govern a virtual US & nuke the rest of the planet -- either in cyberspace, or the Nevada desert, where they would have negligible effect on the real World. Kind of a low expectations version of "World of Warcraft"; call it something on the lines of "Dumbones & Deranged".
