    A little self-promotion here from our way-back creation of Rocketstonville.

    "The Armed Republic of Jorts is a huge, devout nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 383 million are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

    The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defence, the Environment, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 38%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Trout Farming.

    Corporations are forbidden from employing outside the nation, torture is illegal, euthanasia is illegal, and there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Jorts's national animal is the armadillo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the denim."

    Gadzooks! It looks like the opening of the Democratic primaries. We have 12 candidates so far with Madmax leading with three nominations followed closely by Andymoon (2), Basso (2) and Batman (2). Acceptance speeches do not count as nominations.

    Who is the Conquistador?

    Is your vote for Hayes or Hayestreet? As far as the other positions, I'm having a hard enough time trying to keep the tally just getting the nominations in order. BTW, thanks for the mention. It is the perfect spot for someone like me -- useless until all is deadlocked and without a real job to do except hang around.:D

    I just received a push poll phone call from Andymoon's campaign asking me if I knew that MaxMax had adopted Deckard's illegitmate martian baby that happened to have a strange resemblence to Batman if that would make me less likely to vote for him.

    The dirty tricks are already starting.

    Dammit Max, you were supposed to take that secret to your grave!!


    Because we have a thespian in the White House already, we may as well have one of genuine intelligence, wit, and filled with love for his country... I hereby nominate Batman Jones!

    To provide a real compassionate conservative, and to provide balance to the ticket, additional intelligence, and a lawyer (they will need all they can get!)... I hereby nominate MadMax!

    As for myself, I ask not what the BBS can do for me, but what I can do for the BBS. Colonial Governor of one of our more beautiful Pacific island possessions will be more than adequate. Thank you in advance, and my qualifications follow below.

    I was mentioned? :confused:

    I guess because it looks like I'm smoking something, and go off half-cocked a lot of the time. :D
