POLOT - President of Languish Election

[Darth Wagtaros]

The time has come for new blood and new talent.  Too long have we languished under career-business-as-usual-politics here at Languish.  We need a new President elected!

I don't think we do.

Sure BB claims the title of POLOT, but it is a ceremonial position of a no-longer existent place. This is, after all, Languish Off the Record, not Languish OT.

It's a bit like having a succession crisis for the King of France or whatever. France is a Republic. No need to get worried about some pretender with no mandate.

[Darth Wagtaros]

Just what we'd expect of Old Major.

BB is de facto president for life; although constitutionally, I'd argue he gave up the title when he went into self imposed exile a couple years ago

Death to the pretender. Long live CCR

I have no need to be President for Life.  I swore an oath to the Constitution of Languish and will gladly step down from my position when a new President is elected.

Your President believes in democracy and the Rule of Law, after all.

[Jacob]

You may be the President of Languish OT, but you're not the President of Languish Off the Record.

I nominate you.

[Zoupa]

I nominate myself. Down with the tyranny of the Beeb.

[garbon]

Fuck all this noise.

[Caliga]

Fuck all this noise.

I also nominate you.

[garbon]

Fuck all this noise.

I also nominate you.

It's about time we get some minority representation.

[Caliga]

Well there's that, but also you don't want the post.  This means you might actually be good at it.  Politicians who desperately want power should be kept away from it.

I'm the President-elect of the Kentucky-southern Indiana chapter of the PMI (basically, professional organization for project managers) and I truly didn't want the position, but nobody good was standing up for election and so I ran because I wanted to make sure some idiot who would screw up didn't get elected.  Seriously.

Anyone who posts in this thread should be purged.

Sounds like one or two of you guys should watch out when near windows and balconies.
