But it'll all change when I'm King   I will now use my great political knowledge to predict the future: 2008: Hillary Clinton WILL be elected President. She will be defeated for re-election by Tiki Barber 2012-2020: Tiki Barber is President 2020-2028: Stephen Colbert becomes President (as a joke gone too far) 2028: Stonebeard is elected President. 2029: He is overthrown by Atomic Rooster who rules as King

Excellent (arches fingers)

My coup will involve a community of prog fans and an island hopping campaign (as well as future in-fighting in the Carribean and the invasion of Canada)

Of course... No member of the Intelligent People's Thread could dislike Zappa.

Number four is Frank Zappa in a nutshell!

I would say that you're in based solely on numbers 3 (also sporting a pair of supreme intelligence) and 5 (doesn't look too good when an intelligent person craps his pants)

Howd you know!?

So, how is the statement "We hold these truths to be self evident...and the pursuit of Happiness" reflective of the ideas of Federalism and Republicanism? How did the authors of the Decleration and Constitution view women/minorities/immigrants? What is Manifest Destiny, how is it based on Puritanism, and how were the Revolution and Civil War products of Manifest Destiny? How was Manifest Destiny responsible for the rapid development of the US?  

Not a problem, take your time.

Rooster who looks more like a Duck... did you find time to read through my poetry more thoroughly?  PM me when you have time and let me know.

No rush with that though, take your time.

Cheers.
