I just get the wheelies (pun intended heh heh) everytime more and more reports come in to my inbox about how Optimus Prime is mentioned as a political figure.
And this time, this writer of the article that I'm about to quote proposes Prime as a viable candidate for the Presidency of the United States!!
This is amazing folks. It's Prime Mania all over again!

However! Before I ruin another perfectly good pair of underpants, it might be a good idea to take some action to make the voting process fun again. And the way to do it is to have a "mock" election where we get to vote for really cool candidates of our own choice! That way, whenever the bonehead real president opens his big, fat, stupid mouth, we'll just close our eyes and imagine the president of our dreams, and life will once again be a trip to the ice cream factory. So without further ado, here are my three dream candidates for Prez of the USA!!
THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE: Optimus Prime, the Autobot leader of The Transformers! Naturally, we all remember The Transformers as the Saturday morning cartoon from the early '80s in which weird alien robots protected the Earth by "transforming" into really cool cars or other easily merchandisable objects. So, while Optimus is not only a great leader, like Al Gore, he's also a "robot in disguise!" Other attributes: He's the wisest of all Autobots, is dedicated to the protection of all life, and thinks the Decepticons are a bunch of dickholes.
