Brought back some old memories:

I want a new drug

I never could quite understand Jeeve’s explanation, dash it all. If only he’d thought to use simple pictures, perhaps I’d have it crammed in the old bean by now.

We are therefore pleased to announce the formation of a new Jr. Ganymede Super PAC under the auspices of JG habitue Bertie Wooster. The PAC will be known as “Hip Hip Hooray for the Future!” and will engage in dashed vigorous 30-second exposes of blots on the political scene. Please give generously.

It may surprise you to learn that the National Active and Retired Federal Employee Association has other thoughts on the matter. (link) You and I can rest assured that the true heartbeat of America is readers and writers of Junior Ganymede, or it would be if any of us had a heart.

GA’s and famous Mormons are fair game.    Creating a new position is also allowed.

As in:  Romney would appoint Deiter F. Uchtdorf as head of the FAA, Jeffrey Holland as head of Dept of Education.

What should be a pet-cause for Ann Romney?  (Michelle Obama’s is diet/weight-loss, Laura Bush’s was education, Nancy Reagan’s was Say No to Drugs.)

I nominate Family Home Evening to be Ann Romney’s cause.

(Various ideas can be found/stolen from a “Mitt Romney is so Mormon…” meme at various places on the net. A list of the best is here.)
