Memo from an Orange State

Ah, election day at last!

Did you vote yet? I sure did. My mind was made up a long time ago. Yessir! I voted for that goofy Texan, same as last time.

I love that guy, with his corny expressions and his squinty little eyes. I like his straight talk. I like that he's not afraid to swoop in blow up the baddies when they smack-talk the U.S. of A.

Knows what he believes in, that's for sure. Man of principle. Conviction. Knows how to lead.

No sir, you can't go wrong with a man like him. You can tell just by looking at him. He's got a sweet wife, good-looking kids. A family man all the way.

I know some folks think he's not the right kind of leader for these times, that his tendency to go it alone will be bad for America in the long run. But I don't care. I like having a cowboy in the hot seat. He makes the other candidates look like Elmer Fudd.

So here's to the next president of the United States: Ross Perot!
