Bwahahaha.  The two room temperature[1] IQs running for
US president right now should be enough to scare anyone.

I'd rather have KOIZUMI Junichiro as President of the United
States and would gladly vote for him (in preference to Obama
McCain).   He tried for and *got* change, at least some change
more than any of the recent US politicians who have run on
that.  Running on "Change" has been a cliche for quite a long
time now.
