My Week in Review (Thus Far)
Like everything else in life, a presidential campaign has its ups and downs. When it’s up, you want to stay up, and when it’s down, you want to get up and stay up. When one is down, one can either wait for a break or create an opportunity. I have chosen the latter and will explain why I am currently in Massachusetts despite not planning on being here later in this entry.
Sunday – Ames Iowa: I was looking for a place to talk a little bit about politics while watching football. I was a bit scared at first about the bar near my hotel. I wanted to root for the Broncos, but the bar was decked out in black-and-gold and had a lot of football stuff. I thought at first it was a Steelers’ bar until I saw a bartender wearing a Tim Tebow jersey. I saw a few patrons walk in wearing black and gold shirts, but they had “IOWA” on the chest with a hawkeye underneath. It turns out that the University of Iowa’s football team and the Pittsburgh Steelers have the same colors and that Iowa adopted the Steelers’ colors in the 1970s to look more llike a championship.
Monday – I was in an antique store in Iowa City when a young woman came up to me asking for my autograph. I happily obliged. She looked disappointed. I asked her what was wrong. She said she thought I was running for President. I told her I was running for President and gave her my web address. She then said she thought I was Vermin Supreme.
Tuesday – I went to cemeteries, morgues, and libraries through Des Moines campaigning to the deceased. I didn’t hear any objections from the cemeteries or libraries, but the morgue said I was getting in the way of autopsies.
Wednesday – Flew from Des Moines to Manchester, New Hampshire (via Chicago, Boston, and St.Louis). Too tired to do anything by the time I got to Manchester at 11:30PM
Thursday – rented a car and drove to Dixville Notch. I normally like it when I leave an impression on people and they remember me the next time I see them. Most of the people didn’t remember me from my visit in 2010, but unfortunately, a few did. Another person thought I was Vermin Supreme and wanted a pony.
It occurred to me that the South Carolina primary is next Saturday and not this Saturday. I have also learned that they don’t allow write-in candidates in primaries. And Manchester is not too far from Boston (or specifically, Foxboro). I drove to Foxboro this morning looking for people who have tickets to tomorrow’s game between the Patriots and the Broncos. I couldn’t find anybody with tickets. (I don’t want tickets, I just wanted people to hold signs that can be shown on TV.) I’m now at Logan Airport awaiting for my flight home.

About
Ahmnodt Heare is a fictional character running a real campaign. He is an Independent candidate for President of the United States. His views on solving America’s problems is different than the ideas being offered by any Republican or Democratic candidate.
In the upcoming days, he will give a daily account of his political activities, campaigns, and other behind the scene activities like no other candidate ever has.
The purpose of this blog is to showing the absurdity of Ahmnodt Heare’s platform and show that the two major parties are equally absurd (especially at the federal level.)
If you are fed up with the two-party duopoly, then feel free to write in “Ahmnodt Heare” for the office of your choosing.
On Election Day, tell your fellow Americans, “Ahmnodt Heare!”
Ahmnodt Heare for America. Ahmnodt Heare for You.
Ahmnodt Heare for President 
There is a slight difference between looking like a championship team and being a championship team.
They don’t allow write-ins? Well that explains why I never see Ron Paul on the ballet.
The University of Iowa had some great teams in the 1980s and they won the Big Ten when they first switched to the Steelers-looking uniforms. As Fernando used to say on Saturday Night Live, “It’s more important to look good than to feel good.”
I have issues with states that don’t allow write-in voting. Partially because write-in voting is freedom of speech but mostly because I won’t be getting any electoral votes in those states.
[…] From time to time I will translate various posts from English to other languages to get my message out to people who can’t read in English. Today’s post is written in Georgian. My apologies to the people in Atlanta for not knowing they use a different alphabet system than the rest of the United States. This post is a translation of a post I wrote yesterday in English called, “My Week in Review (Thus Far).” […]
