Hello people.  What kind of world did you all bring me into here?  A crazy financial crisis.  A heated presidential race.  Tough times require tough measures… Zane measures.  With this blog article, I hear-by announce my entry into the 2008 President race!

First things first, let me choose my team.  My Vice President running mate is Mommy.  She can relate to the female voting crowd… plus I get hungry a lot and need her close by.

My economic advisory board will be Mimi and Grampy.  We need to return to our roots to get us out of this financial crisis.  Our roots are farming.  You need to eat.  I need to eat.  Mimi and Grampy have been farming the rolling hills of southern CT for over a decade.

With the rising strength of natural disasters, we need to raise the effectiveness of FEMA.  Brooke and Kai will lead that effort, given their experience in flood control.

I will need to make some big changes as well.  Remember the old days of Kings and Queens.  These folks experienced prosperity for hundreds of years at a time.  Why can’t we do that today?  What did they have that we did not?  Ah, The Jester.  That is right.  We need to formalize humor again.  Therefore, I appoint Grampa and Uncle Jason.  They are masters of the tickle machine.

Who better to clean up the world we live in than Tia?  She will head up my environmental committee.

For my cabinet, GramE and Daddy.  When things look down, they will help me rise to the occasion.

As I mentioned, the future of America is farming.  We need to return to our basics.  I mean, come on, who would pass on a good Pumpkin pie?

“Don’t worry Goats.  You will prosper under my leadership”

So you may ask, what is the plan to appeal to the diverse voter demographics in the U.S?  I have it worked out.  The young voters are easy.  Dance:

And music.  The plastic cup is growing in popularity as a modern, hip instrument.

I know exactly how to get to the heart of Maine voters.  Lobstaaahhh!

The rapidly growing Hispanic population can never get enough of their football, Telemundo style.   GOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!

GramE helped me with this shot, a sure win with the traditional Western fans

The fraternity crowd should be a lay up.  Nobody knows how to party like me.

Let’s not forget about the Bostonians

So why am I a good candidate?  Well, I am always on the move.

I inspire people to walk like me and talk like me

I can be mean when I need to be.

I know how to sniff out the truth.  “Wondering who farted?  Let me give you a hint.”



And when all else fails, I have a great smile

If all works out, Cousin Brooke will lead my induction ceremony.

Do I have your vote?



Love,

Zane
