POTUS?

Posted in 43 things with tags , , on 4 September 2008 by petrnotail

I might just write him in on the ballot this November. If only I knew how to do so on the blasted scary robot vote-changing machines. If we can’t elect him God, perhaps the machines will go haywire (I fully expect this to happen) and my one vote will make Thom Yorke president!

I know technically he can’t be president, since he’s not a citizen, but our government isn’t really into that whole “Constitution of the United States” thing anyhow. Who’s with me?
