Who do you want to be America's president for 2008-2012? Which person do you think is qualified enough for our great country? I say we need Zakk Wylde in the oval office. We could be Black Label America, I could live with that. Or maybe Arnold Swarzanageranegeradg...The Govenator...for King.
Ps: this isnt a "Lets Bash Bush" board so just say who you want for president.

Pss: If you dont know who Zakk Wylde is I no longer love you.

Who's Zack Wylde?

...You've just made the list....
Zakk Wylde was the guitarist who played for Ozzy since Randy Rhodes died and He made the band Black Label Society(hence Black Label America) and he is one of the best guitarists alive. He is fast.

Sorry Copperwater, I just couldn't resist

Fast isn't best....And frankly, I'm not sure who's President matters so much as how the government is overall IMO. Better yet, educating the general public in how to use their brains as well.

My choice, I say lets just go straight to it and grab a clown for the circus. At least then we'd know ahead of time our president would be the laughing stock of the whole world before he's voted in. Maybe a monkey, then we'd only be fighting over food and women instead of everything else you know?

Hell yeah, a monkey president would be awesome. Then again, I am a moron.
And Zakk Wylde is more than fast, he is a genius with a blazingly distorted les paul or a simple acoustic.

Zakk Wylde is a great guitarist, but it's not just speed. My favorite stuff he did outside of Ozzy was with Pride & Joy. He showed he could play a wide range from metal, Southern rock stylings, and banjo filled country inspired kiss off music.

Rhodes was a god though

I vote Jesse Ventura for president

My two favorite albums are Book of Shadows and Alcohol Fueled Brewtality Live. He likes the F-bomb
not get off subject...

See I think there's a problem inherant in the system. So my choice for president won't matter. BUT, if Jessica Alba got voted into office, I'd watch every presidential announcement and pay attention more.

Noam Chomsky naturally. Perhaps he would take up the position under gun point, I dont know.

Or possibly Fable.

You know, I suspect Chomsky has much better things to do with his time, like influencing and corrupting young minds.... not unlike Fable actually

Seriously, Chomsky would be amazing, I've met him and seen him speak a couple of times, he is an incredible guy.

Thats where the gun enters the picture. Also, hasnt he corrupted young minds for about 50-60 years now? Perhaps its time for a short break.

As the illiterate peasant I am I haw only seen a few bits of his movies and perhaps read an article or two, but that material left a very good impression on me.

And yes, I think the similarities with Fable is quite striking.

I vote for Kim Beasley(sp?)

I wasn't gonna reply to this until I saw Chompsky's name somewhere. I think that could be -very- interesting... Yes, the more I consider it the better it sounds. However, I have no idea what kind of society that would lead to. He'd only have four years, and where to start? I would assume Noam would try to implement as many changes as possible, but is there a natural starting point?

Not easily, and if Chomsky was in alone, he'd never survive. I think you would need both a President and Congress of Chomskys. As for a starting point, I imagine he'd choose areas where he could make an irreversible impact, from the start, such as the immediate destruction of the US' nuclear arsenal, the shredding of literally millions of classified documents held for many years on private citizens, the scrapping of all Star Wars Defense System-related material, and the reallocation of massive amounts of funding into alternative energy sources research.

I appreciate the suggestion that I take the office, but if nominated I wouldn't run, and if elected, I would defect.

Never heard of the guy, but he sounds like my kind of president!

If you want to learn more about him, check out his website.

Thanks *click*

Come on now fable, would not a babylonian god appreciate his own little private domain? You could play with your subjects in immesurable cruel ways all day long, and people would still consider it an improvement.

Also, think of the funds you could spend on buying shostakovich records and bottles of wine.

With the right PR and the funds to spread it, this is undoubtedly correct. There are many ways to convince people that white is black, especially when they've trained since childhood to accept that their leaders are good people, and that their political system is the best in the world. This applies no less to the US than it does to Sweden, or North Korea.

This much I can say, in seriousness: if I were in dictatorial charge, I would institute a revision of the primary school educational system that required training in elements of logic in the earliest years; and self-analysis, in later ones.

Well, yes, but where would you put it all? Especially if you refuse to annex mid-Eastern nations to act as a repository?
