While downing the remains of the wine and dragging deeply on a Chesterfield, I wondered what Obama's first day as President would be. And then I decided what I would do.

I'd visit Area 51.

What about you guys and gals, if you were President, what would your first day be spent doing?

I'd be up for a visit to Area 51. So would the folks at Joy of Tech if this cartoon is any indication.
But first thing I would want to do is get in the limo and drive all over DC stopping traffic as I go.*





* I lived there for almost 14 year and there is a special kind of Hell to be experienced standing at an intersection for 15-20 minutes unable to cross the street as a presidential motorcade will be coming through "any minute now". Heaven forbid you are in your car when a motorcade needs to come through. Once when I was in my car I had a machine-gun pointed at me out of the side window of one of those black armored SUVs used by the Secret Service.
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

Did you pull out a hairdryer and aim it back at them?

I'd bang the 1st Lady senseless. And then take a ride on Air Force one.

Yeah, I can second that about DC motorcades... and it's not just the President. Foreign dignitaries get them too. As if driving in DC wasn't bad enough already... you also have to deal with sudden complete stoppages from various motorcades.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

I'd ask ESPN to pull all the Rickey Henderson footage from the "vault" and send it my way.

Why not just make Rickey Henderson the commissioner of baseball or something?

I'd have the CIA destroy anything about Ricky Henderson and carry out and assassination.
