My Presidential bid













MSM: What made you decide to run for President?


F. Calypso: I felt that my needs as a voter weren't being met by the current crop of candidates.


MSM:
What needs are those?



F. Calypso: I'm very close to needing a new pair of boots, for instance.


MSM: Ha ha ha, but seriously.


F. Calypso: I need some new pants too?


MSM:
Yes, but are there needs of National Significance you were hoping to see addressed?



F. Calypso: We are the world, as the song says.


MSM:
I don't think that's what the song is about.



F. Calypso: Look, it hardly seems likely I could be elected President of America on some sort of communal Communist "What's best for us as a group" approach.


MSM: So you're campaigning for yourself as your constituency?


F. Calypso: I refuse to pander. I'm the real deal. I call them as I see them.


MSM: How do you see them?


F. Calypso: Hmm?


MSM: You said that you call them as you see them. How do you see them?


F. Calypso: I dunno. You show me and I'll call them.


MSM: Okay. Fair enough. What is your position on ISIS?


F. Calypso: (Singing)


I was thinkin’ about turquoise, I was thinkin’ about gold
I was thinkin’ about diamonds and the world’s biggest necklace
As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold
I was thinkin’ about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless


 

MSM: Er, excuse me. Is that supposed to be a Bob Dylan imitation?


F. Calypso: I like to think of it more as an homage, or sort of like The Bob Dylan Experience.


MSM: What does that have to do with the Islamic State?


F. Calypso:
I dunno.


 

MSM: What would you do about ISIS and the threat they pose?


F. Calypso: Well, my neighborhood is more of an Agnostic sort of neighborhood. We don't have a lot of religious fanatics. We have much more serious problems that I don't see being brought up.


MSM: Such as?


F. Calypso: Icy sidewalks.


MSM: Icy sidewalks?


F. Calypso: I have yet to see any interviewer ask a candidate what they would do about icy sidewalks, killer of the elderly.


MSM:  Mea Culpa. What would you do as President about the problem of icy sidewalks?


F. Calypso: I would walk more carefully.


MSM: You have my vote.


F. Calypso:
Yeah. These interviews always seem to end that way.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
