Here's How He Did It

Yahoo Answers is kind of addictive. I love going on and reading the questions and answers -- occasionally adding my .02 to the mix.

There was a question tonight I could not resist responding to. Although I kind of doubt this was the answer the questioner had in mind. ;-)

Question:
How would one become a conqueror in today's world?

Answer:
Step 1. Become part of a corrupt political machine.

Step 2. Run for statewide office in safe (i.e., liberal) district.

Step 3. Keep your head down, don't take any controversial stands, vote "present" a lot.

Step 4. Make friends with rich liberals who can loan you money in exchange for favors.

Step 5. Run for national office on empty platitudes and meaningless slogans. Depend on a fawning media to slobber all over you and not question your non-existent record or lack of qualification.

Step 6. Repeat Steps 3 - 5.

Step. 7. Run for president.
