| #3 I wish he would attack the great taboo of England: calling England, "England". It is very important that the English get over their aversion to being English, and again regain pride in themselves and their nation. For all the talk that their empire was damned, it did a lot more that should be praised. It uplifted the primitive and it fought the tyrant. Much of the Pax Americana that exists today only does so because of the foundations laid before with English treasure and blood. The English tongue and the alien concepts of individual liberty and freedom go hand in hand. Seeing the rise of America, the English were wise enough to guide our foreign policy in its infancy. The English persecuted the end of slavery in most of the world. They perpetuated their superior system of government to many lands that had never had any serious government at all. Lands that had been part of the empire still thrive for the most part, and have retained many of the good ideas brought to their shores. Contrast that with the former French colonies, were misery, poverty and tyranny still reign as often as not. |

| #2 Wonder if he could hold both jobs at the same time, Abu? That'd get quite a few panties in a twist! :-D |

| #1 I heard that, since he was born in the US, Boris Johnson is technically eligible to be POTUS and that he is interested in the job. I'd vote for him. |
