In between giant lawn signs for Mitch and a pretty cool homemade Obama sign, Carter outlined his desires for the next president.

Carter: What I really hope is our next president takes on King Arthur’s philosophy.

Me: (resisting the urge to start singing Camelot) Yes? What’s that?

Carter: War is only the very very last resort.

Me: (lost in patting myself on the back for such brilliant parenting as to produce such a thoughtful kid)

Carter: Of course, my larger concern is Area 51.

Me: Huh?

Carter: I’m afraid the next president, whether it’s Obama or McCain, might abuse Area 51.

Me: Again, huh?

Carter: (working on his patient voice) It’s likely there’s some powerful alien technology there, and the next president could use it as a terrible weapon. I don’t want that to happen.

Me: But (struggling) that isn’t happening now, right? The current president isn’t using alien technology, right?

Carter: Well Mom, I think there’s a good chance the next president will be smarter than this one.

One can only hope.
