just because you turn 47 doesn't mean you're not still 17, does it?

Ha. Glad to know I have company!

Hey, you're not in the >50 group. ;)

You're only as old as you feel. :)

And, on that basis, I'm 25. :P ;)

23, approaching 24. Feel as if I've accomplished nothing in 24 years... hopefully the next 24 will be more productive. :P

LOL, sure, but hadn't Alexander conquered the known world by 21? ;) I shouldn't set high standards for myself, slacker that I am. 8)

You need to start small. Start first by conquering Montgomery County. It looks like we may need a new County Executive soon...heh.-jay ;)

LOL, and we already know the names of a couple potential replacements. What looks better on top of letterhead? Steven Silverman or Isaiah Leggett? :roll:

So, how does one go about counquering a County from a paid internship position?

I'd figure you'd need to do what all other politicians do, and sell your soul to some great, evil power.

Or maybe you can form and lead an army of crazy Montgomery County secessionists, and fight for our overdue independence from Maryland. Then just declare yourself Dictator For Life.

List the pros and cons of each, and go with your best option.-jay

Ah, I see my Montgomery Country idea is taking off! "Welcome to Montgomery Country - Live for the bureaucracy!"

We could be really subtle about it, too... "County" and "Country" look so close alike that the feds won't even notice we've seceded! At least until we demand a prime spot on Embassy Row.

PG? Bah! You can keep PG. If we take anyone, we're taking Fredneck.

OK, we'll give you Fredrock, as long as Virginia takes PG. Then we'll let the Eastern Shore annex Delaware and secede as well.

Then everyone's happy, except for Baltimore City.

:lol: LOL, the new face of Maryland politics. Those poor outliers like Alleghany and St. Mary's are gonna wonder why nobody from Annapolis talks to them anymore.
