  8. If I were numbers 5,436 or 5,437, I'd be watching my back.

  9. Hey, you couldnt do any worse than what we've got! Ah, reading is fun to do when you can keep the dogs and the parrot quiet. I've been reading Headwind by John Nance. I'm an airplane story nut. Also reading Joel Osteen's Your Best Life Now. We could all use a littl inspiration now and then!

  10. If it came to it, I would serve to the best of my ability. But I warn my liberal friends, they don't call me Little W for nothing.

  11. Cube, if the 5,438 people ahead of you did perish, assuming the rest of us did not, would we need a president?

    Assuming those are the folks in the executive and legislative branches primarily, wouldn’t the majority of our problems be over if they...weren't...here that is?

  12. Yes, we would still need a President, and, no, our problems wouldn't be over. We would basically have a new set of problems.

  13. Truthfully, I was being facetious. Although, considering my overall dissatisfaction with members of the executive and legislative branches, of both parties, and their overall job performances over the decades I have lived and been of voting age and voted, sometimes, I would like to send them all pink slips as in, go home, your services are not longer required and forget your pensions. But, no doubt, the new set of problems as a result, would be no improvement.

  14. No government or politician is perfect, but IMO, the conservatives are simply more capable of dealing with the problems our nation faces than this current crop of loony-left liberals.

  15. jill: BTW I hear Michael Crichton's "Airframe" is a good plane thriller.

  16. Well, quite frankly I think this post is elitist.

    I am still miffed that, as a non-American, there's no point in adding my name to the list. I was hoping to be around 6,001 in the line of succession, but noooooo, I'm NOT American am I. *sulk*

    Oh crap! Just remembered: I found out, only a few weeks ago, that one of my great, great, great, grandfathers WAS an American, rooly trooly born there and everything.

    As my daughter so elequently expressed it when I shared this wonderful news with her (see, I was hoping to tell people that I was American, to see how much stuff they would blame me for - so it was all quite exciting, to me):

    "Oh, so we're not just Euro-trash, we're mongrels."

    Ah, where did I go wrong.

  17. It's not personal. Unless the Constitution is changed, only people born in the U.S. can be President.
