In 2028, yours truly will be eligible to run for President of these United States. I figured I might as well start practicing now. What should I do to make you want to vote for me?

As an aside, I was watching bits of the Inaugural Ceremony and the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball.... but something about it all is really tacky. I guess there are just too many top-40 artists for my taste. Actually, I like the idea of a ball that's accessible to as many Americans as possible, but I'd rather not have Shakira or Sting performing, or Ray Romano telling jokes. More top hats and Nightwish, please.

And speaking of top hats, I promise to you all that as President, I will revive the custom of wearing Victorian morning dress, just as all presidents wore to their inaugurations up to John F. Kennedy. Except, I'd wear it all the time. Even to bed. (Did you know that most swear-ins of governors in Southern states still do this?)

Praying for the dead is important. PM me if you need a cantor for the Requiem Mass of a deceased friend or family member. Have cassock and surplice, will travel. (Will also do weddings for a reasonable price.)

How do you think Nightwish will sound in 2028?

You might want to set your sights on President of the Republic of Texas.  That might be a more likely scenario in 2028.

Change your first name to one of another mythic beast of your own choosing. Basilisk Griffin has a nice ring to it, and you can shorted it to "Basil" in polite company and sound thoroughly Christian. Doing so would garner the awesome vote.

Also, do away with morning dress and replace it with some hybrid mariachi-evening dress combination. Your appearance lends itself well to Hispanic pandering, and I project they will be an even more significant constituency than is presently the case.

Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.– Buddha

Note: According to this precept, I find that Buddhism is NOT true.  I have tested and judged many things, and the only Truth I have found is in God's One True Church: The Catholic Church.

Dear Lord, I know I can live by Your Holy Will every moment of my life, because You have given me faith that Your Grace will enable me to.

Good point. Though I'd have invited bands that fall in the same European symphonic metal genre.

That is by far the most awesome idea I've heard all day. I'm friggin' doin' it, man.

I should dress as el Mariachi when I'm el Presidente?



Hmm.... Cyriacus, you're definitely going to be in my Cabinet.

I'll vote for you if I'm still alive, and if my civil rights haven't been revoked due to any felony convictions which may occur between now and then.

"You fight for your lands? Keep them! You fight for Sparta? She will be wealthier and more powerful than ever before! You fight for your kingship? You will be proclaimed warlord of all Greece, answerable only to the one true master of the world! Leonidas, your victory will be complete if you but lay down your arms, and kneel to holy Harleq-- err, Xerxes."
