Re:Burcie, Brucie, Brucie... CHANGE TO CONSTITUTION

[Guest guest]

More important. We know what is important.

Not about to start political debate on stupid guy in office or all

the stupid candidates, but the other night on CNN when I was in the

Hotel room in Tulsa with no better channel, there was a segment just

on recent blunders and stupid statements by candidates. They had them

all. Now, I blunder, but not like them. I wish I honestly believed

any of them had any chance of really changing things.

So, glad you liked my constitutional change since I had already

declared myself all powerful and made it. Now, we're going to have no

elected officials. We'll just talk things through and work them all

out.
