"First Dude" sounds like a great neighbor and someone I would love to 
party and shoot the breeze  with.  Maybe if we called the president 
"First Dude" people wouldn't be so stupid as to think he (or she 
someday) should run every aspect of their lives.   I think considering 
secession qualifies one as a more serious political thinker than 
most.    I wish I could put a smiley on that.
