I accept this nomination for the position of president, dictator, supreme overlord or whatever the position I have been nominated for is called in this dimension because this is clearly not the one I came from. As I never considered trying to get into a position of political power, I am flattered that so many of you would consider me worthy of the position. Since I have been nominated to become your leader I suppose my policy will be to try and improve things through whatever method is most widely accepted here: regardless of whether it involves improving technology, returning to a more primitive state, learning to ascend to a higher state of being, simply assimilating all species into the collective, etc. You get the picture, resistance is futile. I can't guarantee that I will be able to make any improvements especially since I am new to this reality but I am willing to take suggestions about what can be done.
My first act if I am elected for whatever this position is, will be to start, and participate in; the largest game of Calvinball in all history. I thank Bill Watterson for the concept of this sport and look forward to introducing it into the realm of major league sports. I also hope to organize all politicians into soccer teams that will begin all political functions and foreign negotiations by challenging the other political party to a soccer game, unless of course the way things are done in this dimension involves some sort of major battle/mass assimilation first in which case, the soccer game will be a closing formality among the winners. Also if battle/assimilation is the considered the norm opponents who wish to surrender and be spared must first defeat our nation's best Calvinball team to gain consideration, in the event of their loss they will be obliterated. If you still feel like electing me into this position of leadership or think that having me as your leader would be fun then please vote for me or whatever you do to make someone your leader here. However, if you later regret your decision I will abdicate and deny responsiblity on the grounds that you are the ones who gave me power.
My speech probably wouldn't get me elected, but I would certainly have fun giving it.
P.S. If you dont know what Calvinball is or how to play it: start reading Calvin and Hobbes comic books by Bill Watterson. Chances are you'll figure it out eventually.
