I agree, the electoral college is a crock. You only need to vote if you live in a state with a large population. The small states have so few electoral votes that they really don't matter. It is also possible with the electoral college system that the person that wins the popular vote will lose the electoral vote. Therefore we could have a president that the people did not choose.
Back in the day when the electoral college was founded, the founding fathers had a legit argument: "The people are not informed enough to make an educated decision." Now with today's communication, the people are more informed than ever and are able to make the "right" choice.
Are you planning any scandals to highlight your term as Presedent? If so, will it involve you personal or professional life?
What is you taste in interns? If you are going to be pleasured by a White House intern, will you at least think about the poor American public who will have to look at her/him (you never know) in the media for the next four years?
Being sent out into space would deffinitly be the coolest way to go. Just think, hurtling like a astroid into outerspace. The earth could then in effect be the cause of some other life bearing planet to cease to exist by crashing into it. Just leave it to good ol' Mother Earth to destroy the universe. It would be like Spaceballs all over again
I can see the headlines now:
"Cure for AIDS found in fungus eating MIR!"
"Russian economy booming thanks to "research" done on MIR"
"Slashdotter hailed as being the next Jenner"
Why should everybody else be doing the parent's jobs? Parents should actually enforce a rule once in a while and tell their kids no.
Oh dear, I said it, no.
Parents today need to get a clue and start parenting. If they would talk to their children about what's "right" and "wrong" then we wouldn't have half the problems we do. Children these days are raised by technology. Television (especially the news) does't rear children.

I wish to patent the process used to bitch slap the stupid people at Amazon.
The bitch slap consists of striking someone across the face with the underside of one's open hand.

Does Particle Man win this battle?
What makes you think that midwesterners care about California more than MIT? Being from Kansas, I would much rather go to MA than CA.
