How to Train a President

I have a column up at Pajamas Media, which is good because that site is probably less likely to crash.

  1. “I thought I was reading “The Onion”.”
    That was quite a compliment; many of the talented writers there are National Lampoon alumni.
    A good piece, with your usual blend of tongue-in-cheek dry humor and interesting observations.
    LOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. what timing! we just started reading the original Modest Proposal in my 11th grade english class…
    [The title wasn’t my idea. I’d rather be compared to Dave Barry than Swift.
    Swift wasn’t really laugh-out-loud funny. -Ed.

  3. Ok, that article made so much sense it was a bit scary. So, here’s the plan. We vote for McCain/Palin – face it, there has to be some cost to getting a hot VP who can shoot an M-16 and that price is named McCain. Then in four years we get the Palin/Petraeus ticket. Successfully governing foreigners is one thing, but successfully kicking foreigner ass is another. Also, we could tell everyone we’re voting for PP, then run away giggling like schoolgirls.

  4. Has anyone read the 9th and 10th amendments to the U.S. Constitution lately?
    We actually have 50 countries (the other 7 don’t count) that people could try to run and build up their resume. Of course, they don’t get to do neat things such as coin money or launch missle attacks against their neighbors. But, hey, when is the last time you were able to hire someone who fit every last critereon specified in the job description? No, you hire the best fit that you can find, and hope they can fill in the holes on-the-job.
    A quick look at recent history – Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Roosevelt – Hmmmm, electing Governors seems to be kind of hit-or-miss. Based on that, I’ll have to take a pass on your Modest Proposal.
