Then I'd hire Keith David as my presidential narrator.


Boxed set of Season Four of Babylon Five. Plus I'd wear a Membari War Commander's Uniform, complete with bone head. People may misinterpret when I declare war on the Shadows.

My inside source, an invisible monkey named Bobo says Ryan Scott will take his oath on a copy of Atlas Shrugged, or maybe the Fountainhead.

Rodney the wiener dog is quietly jealous of BoBo's poo throwing ability. He would like to rectify that by eating BoBo...

We all know he'll swear in on the only book that matters.

Dungeons and Dragons, 2nd Edition.

Mesopotamia. The Kingdom Where we Secretly Reign.

Which book?

Faces of Evil: The Fiends is in my opinion the best book ever produced for D&D. Or, perhaps, ever produced for a tabletop RPG.

Maybe we should just have in swear in on the whole collection? No man swears on the whole of D&D without taking it seriously.

I would agree with that.

Though if he tried to swear in on a GURPS or RIFTS book I would declare him heretic.

Someone should sneak in a copy of Das Kapital in place of the Bible.

That would make a highly amusing bit of controversy

You can rather whatever you want, but its his oath and it only makes sense for him to swear on the book that makes most sense to him. That'd be the Bible.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Adam Smith, who must have been some kind of leftie or something.

It would also be sort of redundant:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

If I were President I'd wear a cape at my inauguration and I'd be sworn in on my checkbook. As soon as I was officially sworn into office I'd burst into diabolical laughter and start shouting, "YOU FOOLS! YOU FOOLS!"

Damn I hope Romney or Obama does something like that. If Obama wins, it's his 2nd term. He can act however he wants.

People might need that if a Super Volcano erupts. One of them is very active in the USA.
