A Marked Lowering of Standards

5yo: (pointing to local news weatherman) Hey!  That guy is a President!

8yo: (scoffing) That's not a President!

5yo: Course he is!  Just look at the tie on him!

Nice neckwear, buddy.  That and 270 electoral votes will get you the White House.

No one has mistaken me for the president, but then again, I almost never wear a tie.

I have have been told I look like Howard Dean and John McCain, neither of whom became president, of course, but I think that's just because I'm a white guy with grey hair in Oakland.

Ha! My son has come to the realization that there have been many presidents, but few are still living. We recently saw a commercial with Clinton and George W. Bush, and I pointed out to him who they are and that they had both been president. His only question? Are they alive? :-)

Just don't tell them about the soul sucking fundraising that is part of the tie-wearing presidency. They, like the rest of us, might never recover.
