You know, I don't think I would ever want to be President. Imagine the scrutiny. Imagine the unrelenting analyzing of your every move. "Uh-oh... Jenn wore a rain jacket with a plastic shell and a faux fur-lined hood. *gasp* Plastic is petroleum-based. *bigger gasp!* She must be pro-oil-anti-environment-pro-this-anti-that. We must impeach her now! Down with rain jackets and Jenn! Let's start a new campaign - back to burlap!" Then the masses would jump on the burlap bandwagon and call for my impeachment. Silly, yes... but you've seen similar situations played out before in the political arena. To that I say: no thanks. I don't think I'd hold up under that kind of pressure. (Besides, -dare I say- I like faux fur. It's cheap and kind to animals.)
This is all coming about from an abc15.com web-poll we had this morning on Daybreak- whether folks agreed with Dennis Kucinich on his resolution to impeach President Bush. In fact, I believe it's still there on the front page of abc15.com as I type this. As the numbers stand now (at 9:45am) 46% say yes, they agree with Kucinich... and 54% say no. These numbers are ever-changing... so don't hold me to them by the time you get around to reading this blog. You know, we get enough of that scrutiny as people "on TV." I will refrain from typing exactly what kind of scrutiny I'm talking about. Besides, I've probably opened the floodgates by admitting I like faux fur. I can hear the petitions circulating now...
