(wikipedia article)

I've long believed that one of the things which should disqualify someone from being president is any desire to be president. Same with most political positions. People should be drafted to serve and no one should be allowed to 'make a career' of politics.

Just one more way I'm twisted.

Looks like it's going to be a bad storm.

I wish you all the best, and if you live near the coast please move inland just to be on the safe side.
