Who'll vote for Eric Bahrt?

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 09, 2015

It will probably thrill - or perhaps terrorise - readers to know that I have decided to run for president of the United States. Since this is the year for outsiders, living here in Thailand I can out-side all the other outsiders.

I promise that the first thing I’d do as president would be to deport Donald Trump to Mexico and then build a 2,000-mile wall to make sure he can’t get back in.
The second thing I would do is get Ben Carson to perform brain surgery on me so I can then hit him with his seventh malpractice lawsuit, which would probably put this “brilliant” surgeon in the Guinness World Book of Records. Better yet, maybe I can get Carson to perform plastic surgery on Carly Fiorina and then Donald Trump will stop telling her how ugly she is.
As long as we’re going to be ridiculous anyway, why not go all the way and elect me president of the United States?
