>>>It's Sarah Palin not Tore Bleken. Of course I'll not say Tore Bleken can be a good president just because he is God-fearing. The former is already a public servant for long, a vice-presidential candidate before; has track records; etc. Tore Bleken doesn't have those...

>>>>>No matter how brilliant a man, s/he can't be a good president if s/he is not God fearing. I think Sarah Palin can be a good U.S. president...

>>Tore - that's okay, I'll vote for you for pope. It's a better job anyway - no term limit, lower assassination rate, cooler hats. And lots of subordinates who love children.

>Thanks. The position of Pope sounds interesting. I really like his house and its central location, and he seems to always fly first class. But I wouldn't like to have so many people around me when I said my prayers.
A small price to pay for being at the top of the pyramid on the sale of indulgences. ( in return for my support I would like the concession on chopping up deceased good people and selling their body parts as miraculous relics )

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
