I beg to differ. This is the highest elected office on the Chiefsplanet, and the most powerful other than the moderators and Austinchief, who represent the military-industrial complex and God, respectively. The winner of this election will have control of the Chiefsplanet nuclear arsenal, as well as the ability to make life better or worse for thousands of Chiefplanet citizens as well as waves of illegal immigrants from Broncos and Raiders and Chargers boards.

You have always been a vocal "tell it like it is" member of this community and this office respects that. If UP or I can do anything address the needs you have as a citizen we always have a door open for Mr. FN.

I think he was referring to the Simply Red "leaving" situation as being "for shits and giggles." It's starting to feel like a stunt.

Oh. Okay. Recognize that the election committee takes Chiefsplanet democracy very seriously.
