Weird Al Yankovic for President

Since our political system in America is the biggest joke on the planet, I felt it was time to introduce my pick for the next President of the United States.  On election day, the American people need to rise up and vote their conscience by writing in Weird Al Yankovic for President.  Now, I’m not certain who his running mate should be at this time, but it would be pretty cool to see the media address Mr. Yankovic as the next inhabitant of the oval office.  Perhaps Pauly Shore would fit in nicely into the Yankovic administration as a viable VP?  Just consider the possibilities.  Pauly’s experience in environmental issues from his role in Bio-Dome, first hand knowledge of the military from “In The Army Now”, and his insight into farm life in “Son In Law” adds to his long list of qualifications.  And perhaps some of that Beverly Hills high learning is what Washington needs a taste of here in the new millenium.

A lot of politicians talk about change, but I am confident that Mr. Yankovic would bring a campaign of much needed change to washington.  His song “Dare to be Stupid” pretty much sums up the workings of Congress at nearly every level.  In many ways, Mr. Yankovic has addressed many of the basic social problems that we face in our every day lives.  From “Eat it” and the “Constipation” song to ”I’m Fat” and “Like a Sergeon”, Weird Al has taken on the issues of childhood obesity and health reform in this country head on.  His message in “Another One Rides the Bus” is a testament to the poor quality of public transportation that plagues many large cities in this fine land of ours.

Now, you are probably wondering how Weird Al would fair in matters of foreign policy, with a raging war in Iraq and Afganistan.  But, let me assure you, there is no one that knows more about the force than the man who gave us the songs, “Yoda” and “The Saga Begins”.  His willingness to send us all a much needed “Virus Alert” and the examples of all the things he bought on EBAY, speaks to his knowing far more about computers than presidential hopeful John McCain.  And even though he probably won’t win the black vote, being that unlike Obama he is so “White and Nerdy”, I still feel that he has a real chance to swing the electorial votes if we just give his campaign a chance.  With his vision of an “Amish Paradise”, he might be able to convince enough of the Religious Right to see that his conservative values are a much needed breath of fresh air.
