Default Duke for Prime Minister?

What do you think? This is a follow-up from a comment made by Vautrin that was funny....

I wonder what kind of life I would have if Duke were elected? Would I be moved to a poshy place to play shuffleboard, pool, bingo, and get a state-of-the-art walker in my golden years? :? but

I think, as Duke is unmarried, you would be forced to entertain all the world leaders, Luba. With your cooking and your wit.

Or you would form a national committee to force marriage upon your son; can't be too unrepresentative when visiting other nations. Taking the Bachelor to new extremes.

I'd vote Duke, if I were Canadian.

Are you kidding me? I'd hire someone to do both and just sit back and laugh, what I'm REALLY good at!

I already imagine you sitting at a table with say George W. Bush. And Duke making remarks on Clinton.

I agree...you can't make an opening like that without following through....

Perhaps we should make a list of proposals Duke would make?

1. Make the use of pants as an item of clothing illegal. .

Ya this is hilarious. I thought I'd leave you all alone to ponder the possibilities before injecting my $.02 CDN worth

I've been busy making suggestions at cPanel® on how we can fix up the site because I'm tired of looking at it. Right now there's just a lot of debate on what to do and when/how to do it so it's consuming more time than I have.

I've also made my first payment on a dedicated server so I should start migrating websites in the upcoming weeks to what will represent (hopefully) our last move, ever. Since the process will take up to 3 weeks before we're situated, I'm not really too keen on starting the process all over again.

If I were elected though I'd:

- make it very difficult to own/operate and/or, represent a crappy webhosting company.
- legalize pot and tax it to help pay off our debt and help re-build our Pension Plans, Educational Programs and Parks Programs.
- legalize eye for an eye justice where convicted felons were punished in a manner consistent with the victim's wishes.
- make pants at the workplace optional.
- rally for a 9 hour/day, 4 day work week instead of 5, 8 hour days.
- deport convicted felons (usually gang related) who commit violent crimes.
- castrate convicted rapists, the same goes for child molesters (no anesthetic).
- make it mandatory for convicted felons to drive with a hot pink license plate on their vehicle so the public is aware of who they are when mixed back in with society.
- surgically implant a GPS tracking chip at the base of a convicted felons spine.
- create massive tax shelter programs to companies that embrace child development.
