Yes, and then we'll all find out that Tessar is really Valandil, and Valandil is really Tessar....except when they masquerade as eachother.

While the peaceful supporters of Midge-Varna are watching them, shaking their heads sadly.

Let's hope it will be a tie for second and third place, after Midge-Varna as the winner team.

That's why I only support normal candidates like Acally and Midge/Varna . No confusion about who they are. And they don't get into my account and mess with my mail, like Tess and Val do.

Questions for candidates WILL be posted tomorrow. It's time to set some flame under the seats of the candidates. Can't wait until Tess and Val enter the race now, just for that.

Haha. I promise, if Varna and I are elected, to be as confusing or not confusing as you want us to be!

Yeah. I mean if I were to run, which I have not said I would , I can PROMISE you that I would take a stance of FULL BLOWN INSANITY 24/7. That's a promise you can count on.

... cuz mainly I'm not capable of being any other way.

Well, the way I see it is that we will be in one state of confusing-ness. However, much like optimism v. pessimism, you can see that as being relatively confusing if you want a confusing president, or you can see it as not confusing, if that's what you want. Hence, we will be exactly what we are and exactly what you want, all at the same time!

"I understood less than half of what you wrote, and wrote less than half of what you understood," to paraphrase a certain hobbit, one Mr. Bilbo B., and that's really all I have to say about what Midge just said.


... wait... *rereads*..... okay, yeah. Still going with my original quote.

As my heads its strength, I gain the ability to say: You can count on my vote! Though I'll be endlessly fighting with myself over which combination. I'll probably end up secretly voting for John McCain.

Quote:
"I understood less than half of what you wrote, and wrote less than half of what you understood,"
Ha! My thoughts exactly! I have to say, Midge is giving you a run for your money on the "confused" demographic. My vote may waver, if this goes on...

Right now Midge has 2,222 posts. That HAS to be a sign of some kind . Perhaps Inked can give us some numerology lessons on its significance? He knows lots about that .

Yes, indeed. I recall Julius Nyerere, President of Tanzania, responding to a sycophant suggesting he join some of his African neighbours ('neighbors' for our American cousins) and have himself declared President for Life, replied "the problem with that is that it leaves only one method of being removed from office".

Yes, the insatiable lust for power is common around here. It seems to have first developed in Hector, then spread out to others.

It's not lust for power so much as a willingness and desire to help others. I just liked the benefits of the presidency better.
