Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting out your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to run the world
Help me make the most of freedom
And our pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to run the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
Everybody wants to run the world
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that you'll never never never never need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to run the world
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to run the world

C.: d.c., in light of recent circumstances, I’ve decided to run for the most powerful position on Planet Earth.
d.: I think that being the CEO of X, The Social Media Outlet Formerly Known as Twitter, is a position that is secured. I don’t think that you can be voted in to hold that position.
C.: No, I mean president of the United States.
d.: If you’re going to run for POTUS, you’ll need to get started; because the election is next year. And, how do you propose to finance your campaign? It takes money to advertise so that people will know who you are, and what you stand for.
C.: Well, as you know, my husband, Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known as The Tuxedo, (who really needs a shorter nickname) Now Simply Known as T Because Triple T Was Already Taken, has a lot of money.
d.: Is T willing to finance your campaign?
C.: I think he will, as long as I stay out of his way while he’s training to defend his five heavyweight cat fighting championship belts. He’ll see it as a way to keep me out of his fur while he’s training, so he’ll probably finance my campaign.
d.: Okay, what’s your platform?
C.: I intend to be a single-issue candidate. That way, the voters will remember what I stand for.
d.: And what issue is that, may I ask?
C.: I want to outlaw and ban the use of single-ply toilet paper.
d.: I would vote for you on that issue, Cal.E., but I’m not sure it’s enough. You certainly wouldn’t be any worse than some of the presidents we’ve had, though. But, you’ll need a good campaign manager to get elected. You’ll need someone who can come up with good slogans, and s/he will also need to have a good memory, so that your campaign manager can remember what speeches worked to get votes and which ones didn’t. I’ve come up with some good slogans over the years, and I have a good memory. You’ll need someone to help you beat all the other candidates who want to rule the world. Since I’m familiar with the way voters on this planet think, I could be your campaign manager.
C.: Well, I don’t just want to hire you because you're my best human friend. Tell me about some of the slogans you’ve come up with over your many, many, many years on earth.
d.: The first one I came up with was “Linked Out.” It was a slogan for a chain-legnth fence company.
C.: What happened to that slogan? I’ve never heard of it before.
d.: It didn’t sell well, because people thought it was an antisocial slogan. Then, I came up with a slogan for a psychic. It was called “Fatebook.”
C.: I’ve never heard of that one, either.
d.: That’s because the psychic I wrote it for got hit by a train and died. She never even saw it coming. So, then I decided to try my luck at using my skills to come up with something for me. I’m good at chemistry, so I came up with a formula to help people remember things better. I wrote a whole book about it, and put the formula in the book nnd title the book FOGET ME NOT, or DON’T FORGET, or…something like that, I forget. Then, I hid my manuscript in a safe place.
C.: Where’s the book now, d.c.?
d.: What book?
C.: Did you come up with any slogans for presidential candidates, d.c.?
d.:Yes, but it was all for small, third-world country presidential candidates, so you probably wouldn’t recognize the names of the candidates I wrote slogans for.
C.: Well, did any of them win their elections?
d.: I’m not sure, because I can’t remember the names of the candidates I wrote the slogans for, or what those slogans were, or what countries they were trying to rule, or what I had for lunch, or if I’ve even eaten lunch today... So, do I get to be your campaign manager, Cal.E.?
C.: I’d love to discuss this further, d.c., but we’re out of time for today. Please join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner.
