Being appointed o high-level positions. What position? Doesn't say. But,

buildings fall down.

Actually, being a member of the green party and protesting for the
legalization of pot. Oh, and getting tossed out of office on the very next
election by the same guy he defeated to get elected in the first place.

What, being voted as one of the "fifty sexiest people on capitol hill"
doesn't count?

I figured I'd let that slide. I can't confirm that he wasn't (ok, I was too
lazy to confirm that). I figured he got the Lt. Gen's coffee or something.
But why not give benefit of the doubt. Not as if it changes anything.

Dude, you couldn't convince someone that's it's daytime while they're
getting sunburned.
Maybe you should try to reconnect to some semblence of reality in your life

I really don't care what you do or do not believe. You have the right to
deny the sky is blue, if that makes you happy.
