My first 100 days

After any major election, the first major milestone is the first 100 days of office. This is a chance for reflection on an elected official's promises versus output. While, I'm not running for office at this point in time, if I were, these are the things that I would propose to do within my first 100 days: 1) Make weekends longer - yes, I know what would happen, weekends would become 3 full days, and then people would still say the weekend needs to be longer - but really folks, 2 days just isn't long enough. I'd be willing to go to two and half. Lets start the work-week at noon on Monday. I'd even been willing to stay until six o'clock. With no lunch break, thats a reduction of 2 hours a week of work. Its already ten o'clock at work and I've done NOTHING, so its really not a stretch. How many people are really, really productive on a Monday morning anyway? 2) Release just the right amount of pollution to make the weather 75-85 all year long - c'mon, we all know about global warming. lets put it to good use. Sure, we'd have to hire some scientists to get the formulation right, but imagine a world where it was 80 degrees during the day ALL THE TIME. Crime would virtually be eliminated. And finally, 3) Declare every Thursday wings and beer day. It would be positively un-American not to partake in these delicacies every Thursday. Wings would be $ .15 each, and pitchers of beer would be $2.50. Businesses providing these services would of course receive a tax break. Vote for Daniel in 2024!!! PS - Happy Birthday Sean. PPS - I'm serious about the wings/beer thing.
