I win?

I think so...

Let the Era of Renewal begin!

I now have 2008-Obama-Level-Expectations of you.

He will cure all diseases! He will walk on water! He will sweat activity! It's Ben!

For my first miracle, I present to you all:



A RED AVATAR

BOW DOWN BEFORE THE CRIMSON IMAGE

BOW DOWN TO IT

I don't see anything! Your poll numbers are already falling!

"Hey Jesus, this wine tastes a bit like water still..." Consider your momentary lack of faith nothing but a moment of blindness. Open your eyes! Refresh the page!

I s'pose I won't get to see The Promised Land now. Forgive me!

I am dazzled. However, I would recommend cropping your dolphin image a bit. I tried, but I think I only ended up making the poor thing look rather like Luigi in Super Mario Brothers 2.

What a glorious piece of divinely inspired iconography. Also, everyone knows that Dolphin Obama always had an affinity with the Italian-American skilled workforce. What better a representation of this but Luigi's likeness?

Edit: Also, SM Bros 2 was the best one.

I agree whole-heartedly about Super Mario Bros. 2. It gave me a passion for root vegetables and a fear of masks and jars.

On a different topic, as a Certified British Person, in your second act as Messiah-Speaker, can you advise me how to place your very strange postage onto an American-bound postcard? I assume that the normal-looking stamp with the Queen goes in the regular stamp spot, but where does the blue "BY AIRMAIL/PARAVION" sticker/stamp go? Why must this be mysterious?

Congratulations!

I suppose that makes it official then.

I'll change the settings presently.

EDIT: Done. May the Gods have mercy on our souls.

Certified British People do not send postcards to the colonies! But as Messiah-Speaker, I advise you to go to your local post office and ask them.

Thanks, Octavius. As Speaker I promise one simple thing. I will do my job. I hope my term as Speaker will be remembered as one full of efficiently passed legislation that was never hampered by the Speaker. The Speaker should, if anything, lubricate legislation, make the Assembly a place conducive to both discussion and actual acts of legislating, rather than slow down the process. Legislation must never be hurried, and the Speaker should not actively force any item of legislation, but I do believe this does not preclude the legislative process being quick and efficient. Make speed not haste. I thank everyone who voted for me.

And to those who voted against me, I also thank them, for proving that Antica still maintains its fierce argumentative nature. Recently I have noticed most legislation has been passed or voted down with quite a wide margin, with only one or two individuals voting against the current. While this could be construed as an indicator of the effectiveness of the Antican legislative process- that we can reconcile all but extremists in every piece of legislation- I am also wary of the creeping possibility of a 'herd mentality' where every bill is voted up or down almost unanimously without thought or due care. That was one of the greatest crimes of the Commonwealth period, and one I am glad to see rejected in this election.

I can't read this without thinking "How does one patch KDE2 under FreeBSD?"

Right, it's been a couple of days. Where's my Nobel Peace Prize at?

Belated congratulations, sir. I read through your Foreign Policy goals and I find them admirable. All the best. May Antica's independence and strength continue to be preserved under your Speakership.
