An Overrated Cat, an Underrated President

I’ve decided on the first thing I’ll do after I win the 2008 election. I’m going to grow out a beard. After a long campaign, it will be nice to relax and forget about things like shaving. It’s November, with winter approaching, and a beard helps to cut the wind and the cold. Plus, then people will say “We elected him?” and “How did that homeless guy get in to the press conference?” Besides, there hasn’t been any President lately who was man enough to grow some facial hair. I’d be the first one since, I think, Garfield. The President, not the cat. I won’t keep the beard that long. I’ll just grow it out at different times, possibly trimmed in different ways. Keep the people guessing. It’ll be fun.
