When I get up close to a presidential campaign – something I haven’t done much, but did today with the Fred Thompson campaign here in South Carolina – one thing it doesn’t nurture in me is political ambitions… not that anyone ever asked me.
And not that I don’t think Thompson did a good job today, both in his speech at The Citadel and in the lengthy interview/conversation Bob Owens and I had with him, which will be up on PJM Thursday. He was excellent, in fact.
It’s just that who in the world would want to run for POTUS and be POTUS? Spend months without a life, trekking from interview to event to speech in order to win a job that is more of the same with the responsibility for nuclear annihilation on your head every morning when you wake up.
But I whine. Perhaps I am just exhausted. First Blog World, now this. Time for a little shut eye. (See picture at right)
You gotta wonder how McCain does it at his age.
Watching Gordon Brown make a speech last night on C-SPAN convinced me that he would have been better suited for secretary general of the UN.
Reminded me of John Kerry, a total bore. Talk about getting some shut eye.
One of my most basic bits of political philosophy is that anybody who would WANT to be president is not the kind of person I want running my country.
how do I get one of those ‘sleep-masks’?
I see Bill Clinton was the key note speaker at Greenbuild Expo 2007.

I’m a bit puzzled ñ for someone who has lived rent free for most of his adult life and could not tell whether he was alone in the oval office what could Bill Clinton possibly know about green buildings?
Always wondered why you wear that fedora at the top of the blog.
