Hark, ’tis the season of promises. Political buzz is in the air both in the US and the RP. In the US, i’ve seen a lanky white guy, an adulterer, a chimpanzee, and now the adulterer’s wife wants to be president. In the Philippines, i’ve heard about a dictator’s wife’s shoe closet, a Filipino Charles Bronson, and a small woman with a big mole on her face. In other words I really don’t know squat about both these governments. But for some reason, no matter how distant I feel from both country’s politics, I find myself interested and doing research… and then I stop, grab a Coke, and watch TV.

When I was finished doing by intensive, 5 minute research via Google I have concluded that I must run for Leader, Master, AND Commander of the Universe because I feel I am the solution to both hunger and paparazzi: two things that both poor and rich skinny girls suffer from. Here is what I stand for: old people, the color mauve, models, Mexicans, and bok choy.

Anyway, if you vote for me, I promise that I will vote for you when you run for something.
