    The wife and I were sitting around and got on this discussion. We were joking about what occupations our kid would have (no, we don’t have any yet). So my wife says, in a very valley of the dolls like voice,

    “I want my kid to grow up and be the President of the United States”.

    After a pause, we both burst into hysterical laughter. We thought the idea ludicrous. And I started thinking, would I want my son/daughter to have this job? And I came the conclusion, no.

    Which begs the question. Would you want your kid to be president?

    If I had a daughter, I'd be all for her running for president. [​IMG]

    I would smack around any child of mine who had such a messed up idea.

    I don't normally condone violence of any kind, but in this case I would suppress my normal instincts.

    There's a movie coming called The Contender staring Joan Allen, Jeff Bridges and Gary Oldman about a woman who tries to become vice president but there's a sex scandal in her past.

    Supposed to be realeased Friday Oct 13th.

    Oldman plays the bad guy of course, a Republican congressman (naturally).

    Christian Slater also stars.

    Oh, if Christian Slater is in it, I'm there. (Acutally, I saw the preview, and it does look like a movie I would like to see even though Christian Slater is in it).

    Rimy,

    Pretty sad huh? I mean, growing up, wasn't it always, "My little baby's going to be President".

    And now, it just seems like you almost have to sell your soul for a really messed up job.

    Damn! I really wanted to see Gary Oldman in drag. Why not! he's done everything else but.

    Okay....maybe not

    well, after 8 hours behind a computer, opening a play (yay!) and a couple of beers, I'm going to say night.
