<p>On a web site filled with trolls and other bs impersonators the funster is truly the voice of reason. I think the fun one could give McCain the regional balance he needs. Certainly with your knowledge of prep school admissions you could go up easily against Biden. The McCain/Funster ticket would put the "fun" back in to the White House.</p>
<p>We need a third candidate. Who will the "spoil sport" be this time? Is perot still alive?</p>
<p>While the funster is touched by laxballsocdad's endorsement, let me be clear.
When the time comes for The funster to throw his chapeau into the national political ring it will not be as #2. I am #1.</p>
<p>There is much work to be done, and America will re-emerge soon as the "shining city on the hill". Trust me, my friends, you will all soon have a chance to vote for the funster/Barney Frank ticket...</p>
<p>see you in the whitehouse in 20 yrs, fun is fun!</p>
<p>Eight years at the most...</p>
<p>My friends, in my view, we need change.</p>
<p>And hope, don't forget hope.</p>
<p>I can't lose!!!!!</p>
<p>No, if anything, laxbballsocdad overestimated. You're #2 at best. And that would only be #2 on Ron Paul's spoiler ticket.</p>
<p>As for campaign slogans, I'll concede that you're #1 in that department. Forget "change" and "hope" and other ponderous concepts. America will latch on to a campaign pledge based on "fun" like a pit bull to a Porterhouse steak. Even you could win. More importantly, you could qualify for federal matching funds.</p>
<p>CAPTION TO PICTURE BELOW: **fun is fun...upon hearing the news that he got enough votes to get free money from the Federal Election Commission!</p>
<p>Free</a> money! Pour moi?</p>
<p>The funster grudgingly admits that D'yer has a point:</p>
<p>"Fun Is Fun", " Let's Have Some Fun", or simply "Fun!" are all good campaign slogans. All are winners and trump "Change" (or "Hope").</p>
<p>That said, go eat some quiche.</p>
<p>FUN is Fun = The Party Party</p>
<p>Third person reference to yourself, eh? You must be serious about this politics thing. All you need now is to get yourself a mistress (yeah, sorry, but message boards don't count as they don't photograph so well for the tabloids), a polling service (WBTY is crooked enough to take you on as a client), and a stock answer to evade questions that delve into substantive matters of great importance to the nation and the world ("Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a good book, and inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.")</p>
<p>At no extra charge, I'll offer up some guaranteed effective slogans for your impending campaign to become a resident at the U.S. Naval Observatory:</p>
<p>***Fun You Can Believe In!</p>
<p>Keep Fun Alive</p>
<p>Tippecanoe and Fun is Fun Too</p>
<p>Give 'Em Fun, Ronnie!</p>
<p>I like Fun!</p>
<p>It's the fun, stupid</p>
<p>It's recess in America</p>
<p>Better Fun than Done***</p>
<p>Your quest for national office has me wondering...can someone run for Vice President without a running mate? It would be so much easier for you to get on a ballot if you didn't have to find someone who would name you as their running mate.</p>
<p>True dat...</p>
<p>Shoudn't you be spending all of your (apparently abundent) free time advising that horn dog Sarcozy?</p>
<p>true dat... omg
you are my friend disguising as a to-be president candidate! duhhh! XD</p>
<p>westcoast_</p>
<p>The funster would like to respond to your post.
However, he has no idea what it means!</p>
<p>Translation: 40-to-50-something white guys who attended boarding school should never be caught saying (or writing) "true dat" unless they're trying way too hard to relate to the "youth vote."</p>
<p>Are you down with that?</p>
<p>Random, but I can dig it bro'</p>
<p>You are a moron, going to an exclusive boarding school gives you a much better probability of later being accepted into any Ivy League, or any prestigious university for that matter. If you do not believe me, go read C. Wright Mills' POWER ELITE. Although written in 1956, his theories and predictions about American Society appear to still hold true.</p>
<p>ICANTSTANDTHIS is also a moron.</p>
<p>FEEEDOM in AMERICA is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL to WEALTH or social standing.</p>
<p>Don't believe me, go ask Boone T. Pickens. If he were just some guy at the the doughnut shop collecting Social Security, or even a modest pension, and decided to make a "Plan for America," do you think anyone would listen?</p>
<p>HELL NO!</p>
<p>An education at a prestigious institution gives you a much better opportunity to accumulate wealth or create the future you would like for yourself. This includes career choice. It is a matter of fact those educated at Ivy League institutions have more options, and thus freedom, available to them over their entire life. You are telling me a few summers during your teenage years are more valuable than all that freedom gained? Having just left my teens, and contemplating a miserable future, I can certainly say "no."</p>
<p>I think I am "trolling" also, as i just happend to pass by this post on chance, and was interested in the topic (prep schools) after reading certain literature.</p>
<p>However, that does not mitigate the value of what i have to say.</p>
<p>Captain Obvious checks in from the OC...</p>
<p>Funny, your example of wealth and privilege, Thomas Boone Pickens, attended Holdenville High School, and Amarillo High. </p>
<p>The road to social standing, wealth and freedom need not lead through prestigious schools.</p>
<p>About that Road to Wealth and where it traverses...</p>
<p>...I had a college finance professor who told the class, "Show me a rich woman and I'll show you a dead husband."</p>
<p>You gotta love tenure.</p>
