Ha! That's great. Maybe you and Ahnold can be running mates, you can have the whole scifi platform, Geeks for a better America. Hey, someone should actually start that one. Too bad your political view are opposite. Oh well.

Dang, sorry about the multiples. :)

SWEET. Can I be your Secretary of Defense?

Hmmm. Just a thought but, while looking through your archives I noticed a few political views scattered here and there. I was wondering if you had any plans to include a spot on your site devoted entirely to political observations and maybe a reference to certain websites you frequent?

So all you gotta do in the next 13 years is learn how to disappear at critical times, fade into the background, make impotent speeches, and be ready to take the power and run if someone figures out how to assassinate a cartoon character.

Hate to break this to ya, Wil...

...but you're no Jack Kennedy. ;-)

Here's a thought: Miami Vice President...

Hopefully you'll be over mono by then - political office gives you lupus.

And did you remember to ask your wife first?

"We'll CRUSHER the competition"?

Oh my lord.

Posted by: doriette at June 7, 2005 01:49 PM

hmmm
you do live in CA
I think you should run for governor first
but you know - i could really see you being in a city office -- is that something you thought about trying?? Sorry I'm in TX so until you run for Pres I can't vote for you

Posted by: Reddy at June 7, 2005 01:50 PM

Cheesy. But definitely funny. I'm highly amused.

Posted by: Tenga at June 7, 2005 02:44 PM

Will you promise a transporter in every home? And declare WPT broadcast days national holidays for all Americans? If so, you tooootally have my vote...

Darwin up there while you take your oath of office? Best. VP. Ev-ah.

Posted by: eyduck at June 7, 2005 03:01 PM

OK, math is not my strong suit, but . . .
2005 +
13 =
2018

However, if we're talking the Presidential elections, they'd be held in either 2016 or 2020.

So now I'm really curious -- Vice President of what? The possibilities are endless!

Posted by: Jester at June 7, 2005 03:13 PM

You got my vote! Hehe...

Posted by: Alex at June 7, 2005 03:16 PM

Best of luck!
Please don't take personally the flair that I feel the need to color on.

Posted by: kmsqrd at June 7, 2005 03:23 PM

That was fucking hilarious. Must look more into this commic...

Thanks for sharing!

Posted by: Devyn at June 7, 2005 04:23 PM

Hmmm...I think you're too logical to play second banana to a guy who talks to monkeys. (oh...ouch.)

On the other hand, you could pressure foreign dignitaries into signing treaties by making them lose their shirts in poker, you could lead the first improv game press conferences, and you'd most likely run things by the Prime Directive.

And when the monkey gives that guy Ebola, you da MAN!

Posted by: slackferno at June 7, 2005 05:45 PM

Hey, there's enough time between now and whichever this election will be to start a whole new party!

The Geek party! Plenty of time to work on a party platform and all that political goodness.

Go Geek!

Wil,
Long entry and I'm glad that you felt like doing it. You can't ever get sick again.

FG

Posted by: FABIAN at June 7, 2005 10:05 PM

Sorry. I stand personally corrected by Zach Miller. Monkey does not have Ebola. I'm pretty sure Joe does.

Posted by: slackferno at June 7, 2005 11:44 PM

Mr. Wheaton;

I almost never write to you because what I say is mostly meaningless, but I did want to let you know herein that the political harangues that you write are my favorite reading of all. I have never hated a President before in all of my 55 years of life, but you know that I hate this one, although it is hard to know whether he is the fool being led around by hidden, powerful men, or if he is actually making these idiotic and murderous decisions himself, having destroyed those who have gotten in his way. Either way, a dangerous fool leads our country and we are stuck with him for another three years. I feel ill even writing about him.

Thanks for listening.

Steve L.

Wil,

Well, damn - that honestly almost makes me wish I lived in the States. I'd vote for you in a heartbeat, Wil! But I must say, 13 years is a long time. Le Sigh.

Posted by: Kaytlyn LeBlanc at June 8, 2005 04:49 AM

Cute. I hope it's on your calendar. :)

And the campaigning starts.... NOW.

Posted by: AT at June 8, 2005 08:07 AM

"One small step for Wil, one giant leap for geek-kind!" you've got my vote! ooh better yet, could i be press secretary? my friends can tell ya, i'm good at talking!

Posted by: shewhobeatsass at June 8, 2005 12:45 PM

Obviously you are smarter than the monkey in office. But you are smarter than a great deal of America, 51% who think they are mandated by said monkey, I believe. I'd vote for you, that is for sure. But since DC seems to corrupt even the noblest and most intelligent, you are probably best off staying out here in the real world and fixing the system one revolution in the bloggosphere (and beyond!) at a time. Cheers and let us know when the campaign begins.

Posted by: Running2Ks at June 8, 2005 04:16 PM

Heck, I would vote for you, but then I'm Canadian :D

Posted by: Glyn Evans at June 9, 2005 08:41 AM

Thanks Wil, this just made my day consider I've spent the last couple hours reading webcomics! Yay! I'd put in a plug for my favorite, but I don't like putting in plugs.
