I was just telling a coworker of mine, that I didn’t understand why anyone would not vote. I mean, it’s easy to get your voter registration, and in a lot of areas, the wait isn’t that long. It wasn’t that I can’t understand why you wouldn’t want to vote for whoever’s running, but there is such a thing as a write in campaign. Think of it; you can vote for anyone. Even yourself.
Oh sure, the odds of you winning because you put your name in are slim to none. But think of the fun you could have! For instance, my coworker and I figured out that Mickey Mouse was, indeed, born in America. That there is no way to deny it. And… that he is certainly over 35 years of age. Mickey Mouse is eligible to become President of the United States. And you know what a Disney freak I am…
And think about it- Mickey is no longer the bashful, nearly incompetent mouse that he once was. Now, he’s calm, cool, and collected. All the world loves him. He has experience running a Night Club, which makes him a business man and manager, which is really all the leadership skills that are needed. Plus, he performs the part of judge in Mickey’s Toon Town, and already presides over every celebration in Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, Disneyland Tokyo, Disneyland Hong Kong, etc. What other world leader has lead so much?
So, we turned our attention to the posts that he would be appointing as President.
We agreed that Scrooge McDuck would make an excellent running mate. After all, he certainly understands fiscal duties, and his strong conservatism would serve as an excellent balance to Mickey’s generosity. Not to mention that after his near-death experience, he’s just not evil anymore, and would be on guard against the havoc that power could wreak.
As First Lady, Minnie Mouse is nearly as universally loved as Mickey. This would serve her well being put in charge of foreign relations. Her fashion sense already sets most of Florida and California on fire, and she would soon overtake Jackie O as the queen of First Lady fashion.
Donald, just won’t take any crap. So we’re making him Secretary of Defense. Of course, putting a bright red button in front of Donald is just begging for trouble, so we’re replacing it with a marshmallow. We figure that if other countries don’t KNOW that it’s a marshmallow, Donald’s insanity should be enough to keep other countries from messing with us, and if that’s not enough? We’ll have Pete as Donald’s top general.
Daisy Duck can be in charge of health care. I’m pretty sure that she has a nurse’s uniform, even if I can’t remember where I saw it. From her earlier life, I know that she won’t take any crap, and from her later incarnations, she’s developed something of a bedside manner. And besides, anyone who can handle Donald can easily handle insurance companies.
Ludvig Von Drake is now to take over the education post. I learned more from him as a child than I ever learned from school, and I can see a return to educational basics, such as English, Math, and Science to our curriculum.
Goofy, well, we expect that Mickey will put him in charge of finances. There’s no way that he could screw up more than the guys we have in charge now, and with Scrooge’s guidance, we should soon have the stock market back on track. And Donald will blow up the fed if they try to “fix” us any more with inflation and ridiculous loans.
There is no one better suited to any communications post than Clarabelle Cow, though I’m not certain that Horace the Horse would do well in any post. Though, he is rather a steady creature. His even temper might serve him well as a House Speaker, or Supreme Court Judge. And can you imagine a better First Pet than Pluto?
In conclusion, I think that Mickey is the best man, er, mouse, for the nation’s highest post. While his administration may be marked by what’s known as cronyism, that is not an issue when said cronies are also the most qualified for their jobs. And you certainly can’t say that he doesn’t have the experience to lead, because, lets be honest- half of his friends are royalty, and you can’t tell me that all those princesses and their husbands wouldn’t give him every bit of assistance that is in their power to give.

You started the campaign too late. I already voted.
If only it were this simple…lol, good post!!
Travis- Spoilsport!
Thyme- Thanks very much!
I’ve considered it in great detail, and I’ve decided that there is no one more qualified to run our country. But you’re right! If only it were this easy…
And thus, the power of the write-in vote in action:-)
You need to be the White House Communications Secretary—writing speeches and all communique!
*lol* I’ll tell you what- there is one local politician that I wanted out in the worst way. I was prepared to vote for ANYONE running against him. Would you believe that he had no opponent? Hubs and I nearly put my name in, but figured any straight party votes would cancel it out.
Bwahahah! I could just see these stuffy politicians reading speeches that *I* wrote!
