she'd be tender and kind to all living things ('specially baby kitties) she'd have tea (Darjeeling of course) instead of planning wars and when the State of the Union was in major disrepair she'd take a bubble bath do her nails and call her Mom she wouldn't bother with cigars or secret phone lines (sheesh!) she'd find a partner for life in a fat black cuddly cat (no Kitty Krunching here!) a bottle of Pinot Gris (Belle Pente!) a journal and her thesaurus to keep her through the long White House evenings (imagine poetry conceived in Lincoln's room, near a roaring log fire!) no secret agendas and long memorandums on her daily grind! she'd show up on Capitol Hill in a halter top and jeans laugh with the Congressmen and solve three major crisises all while over-tipping the waiter and noticing the maid's new shoes no long boring speeches here no time for that! she'd never jog in public (puhleeeeeeeze!) or ride in a pretentious limousine (give her a Jag ANY DAY!!) and when asked the secret of World Peace she'd smile and simply say two words....

This is Balladeer's girlfriend speaking. You are so right! We definitely need a woman in the Fuschia House!!!! Of course, she would have to have the option of re-finishing the Cabinet at a moment's notice. She would have brought down the Iron curtain decades ago and replaced it with a nice chiffon!...and her top advisor would be the Secretary of Homes and Gardens! I'm with you all the way, miss!! signed, my girlfriend |

(e)X Angel has quite a platform, And I like her approach to things, Knowing an extra pair of shoes Can make the whole world sing. As Long John's lifetime running mate, I'll convince him to drop out, And leave the running for an Angel, Who will win the race, no doubt. |

Long John here, with y feminine side showing - I know I wasn't supposed to come in here, but I just had to read sweet Lorelei's response. This is a great poem, Heather - It made me laugh a lot. 'Deer - How is your new business going? You know, as new owner of the Bates Motel - heh heh |

Well all I can say is if everybody is straight, at least there won't be a first lady to put up with...  Somewhere I had heard, Behind Every Successful Man There was a Woman... Times have changed: Away From Every Successful Woman Stays A Man... Well, I do not know how much of this is true, but I keep my distances from extreme feminists.... but yoohoo Heather, I like the idea... but why keep the men out of voting here... That thing alone has brought in all these men including me  ... curiousity... thou hast attacked....  My regards, sudhir |

heather, you are sooooo first class! this is purrrrfectly great!! i was going to suggest painting the white house fuschia, myself....!!!!  it's a grand idea... and i can't wait for a saucer of cream with darjeeling while you drink tea and write poetry in lincoln's bedroom! the world will surely be at peace with an angel on the top! no cat kicker who lies to us -- your reign will make it stop! the bubble bath will soon become a national pastime a kittycat in every home while all men learn to rhyme! i'm so elated with this news it's fur-thest from my mind the way the country's run today -- my vote for you is signed! (have you thrown your hat into the ring?) |

Well....I concur that in ways there has been a woman president the last eight years, BUT in reality no woman has ever worn the title. I say it is about time!!!!!! Besides I think aromatherapy would help during NATO meetings! (no man would think like that eh girls!?) *wink* |
