Don't forget one former president ran for office as a
governor on a pro

I'd love it if we did have a pro-cycling president but
I'll believe it

when

Quoted message said:

I see it. Too many favors to repay and too many ol' boys
to appease ...

too many terrorists to kill....

I don't need my president thinking about cycling...

Hardly the type to blend into a crowd; I'm sure they'd
much prefer somebody 5'8.

Usually, the taller candidate usually wins:

Reagan over Carter Clinton over Bush Clinton over Dole Gore
over Bush...

I see. So the GOP may as well throw in the towel.
Well, at least it means Hillary will never be
president.

Yes, that was a horrible day. One can only hope that the

If not, California is in for a mess of trouble.

I don't think his sense of balance is good enough for
cycling. He almost killed himself when he tried riding a
Segway.

That assumes that the voters are unable to make a decision
based on anything more substantive than the physical
appearance of the candidates. Sadly, for a significant and
likely decisive portion of the electorate, that's about
where we're at.

Besided, I object to referring to our President as Curious
George. I don't think he's curious about anything.

I was thinking Skeletor (for those of you young enough for
Thundarr and the Barbarians).

App, who, despite Kerry's appearance, will vote against the
Bush/Cheney/Rove Triumvirate of Pure Evil again.

Of course Kerry has good balance.

Dear Art,

It could be argued that the president who
won the most elections was shorter than
any other candidate--apart from publicity
poses, he won three times sitting down.

Yes, I know who you mean although I wasn't around for it.

BTW, I realized I left out a few recent tall guys who got
more votes than their shorter opponent.

1980 Reagan vs. Carter 1884 Reagan vs. Mondale 1988 Bush vs.
Dukakis 1992 Clinton vs. Bush 1996 Clinton vs. Dole 2000
Gore vs. Bush 2004 ???

A definite pattern there.

Dear Tim,

I heard a rumor somewhere that California was in a mess of
trouble before the recent election.

Possibly that's why it was advertised as a recall?

Re: John Kerry: Frankenstein

I know what you mean and glad that someone else can see it.
Kerry's too aloof, and yes, it's disturbing. Another
Presidential election year with two very undesirable
candidates. I keep wondering where Nader stands on the
issues. Oh well, that's politics -- not bicycles.

Some Bush humor...

A young person who is conservative has no heart. An old
person who is liberal has no brain. A Compassionate
Conservative has neither.

Too aloof for what? You planning on inviting the next
President to dinner? Do you imagine Lincoln as a back-
slapping bud? Think Washington was a cut-up, that FDR liked
to slip whoopie cushions under Stalin when he wasn't looking
atYalta just for yucks?

Why not look at what they've done, what they said they would
do, and what they say they will do. Leave the popularity
contests to the highschoolers and the Miss America Pageant.

In what way, specifically, is John Kerry "aloof"? I mean,
you have some specifics, right? And of course, those
specifics would demonstrate how said aloofness is reflected
in his views on public policy.

Why do you care where he stands on the issues? I thought
this was a beauty contest, and Nader's not any prettier than
Kerry or Bush, so what's the point? Our country is in an
endless war and headed for economic ruin, so it's important
that we elect a president who is cute and fun to party with.

3? Was he too close to the grave to qualify in '44 or spending too much time on the whistlestops in '32 to qualify?
