Wanted A Good President

Saying for the day: One person's good President is another person's bad.

You can see by the right hand corner that I have decided for the moment to drop out of my run for President. I have directed my campaign manager to issue a statement that because of my health and the terrible stress of campaigning the entire campaign has been put on hold. This means, of course, that I could reenter the race if conditions change.
I do want, however, to list the four things I want in a President:

1. He must be a problem solver. He must have demonstrated his or her ability to look at problems in a logical manner, gather all the facts, and make difficult decisions based on the good of the nation.

2. He or she must be a leader. The President needs to get us to want to follow his or her lead. We need to have such respect for the person that we will follow.

3. The person must not be so committed to issues that he or she can not make the necessary compromises that make a democracy work.

4. I want an honest person as President. One that doesn’t need to explain what he said so that it means something else. I want a President that can say “ I made a mistake”. Because we all know they do.
We have had over the years a few President’s like that. I am not sure as I look at the list of candidates if we will have another one soon.

@@@@ News from Pigeon Falls– The little town in my garage where the trains still run, the dragon is snowed in, and life goes on as usual.– The blizzard is over and Pigeon Falls is all plowed out. The basketball game has been rescheduled until tonight . Life goes on as usual.
The Town Council met last night and a lot of angry people showed up to complain about the new tax assessments. Mrs. Trumble explained as clearly as she could that the Council doesn’t have anything to do with the assessments. There is a special board that is in charge of that and there is a procedure to appeal. That answer, though the truth, didn’t make people very happy. In other business the Council heard reports on the library project and this coming summer’s Pigeon Days Celebration.They also passed a motion to thank Pastor Marvel for his many contributions to the community and to wish him well in his new call. It will be given to him at the big going away party on Saturday.
Nancy says that people are not just unhappy to be losing Pastor Marvel but they are afraid of what is coming next. They know that there is a shortage of pastors and that they aren’t a very big church. Plus the Bishop seems obsessed with making them wait because of how long Pastor Marvel was with them. He is talking about an interim Pastor. Somebody to fill the needs of Last Lutheran until a new Pastor can be called. That sounds to them like either a retired Pastor or somebody’s reject. A person that despite the shortage can’t get a call. In any case they are afraid and the Bishop has only added to that fear.
Petrovich is still muttering about the meaning of the second driblet which you can see by clicking HERE. At the same time he is working on the third one which he hopes to have ready by next week. He is talking about getting some help in deciphering what it means. He sure does take this prophecy stuff seriously.
Nancy says that things must be returning to normal because she heard that the Jacksons are separating. Butch and Nellie after thirty five years of marriage are throwing it in. Butch says that now that the kids are gone he doesn’t have to listen to her continuous nagging any more. She says she doesn’t know how she put up with such a lazy beggar all these years. In the past Pastor Marvel used to work with them to help see why they married in the first place but now that he’s leaving they might really break up this time. In a small town every action has ripples.
Will Butch and Nellie really throw it in? Will the Bishop ever understand the fears of last Lutheran? Where is that darn dragon when you need him? Is the big White Rabbit lost in the snow. How fast is Tommy UK healing? Will Tommy TW ever finish “ Murder in the Sauna”? And of course is Tommy UK really the undertaker‘s kid. One of these questions might get answered soon.

My breathing is a bit better today. I may be able to get off the oxygen for short periods. I slept well last night. I keep taking all these pills.
The lungs felt much better today and there were even periods when I was off the oxygen, But all the medicines have upset my stomach. I blogged in the morning. Watched my soaps, Took a nap. I visited almost all my links. It was a dull day. Now I need a breathing ttreatment.
