I don't know who he is either.
My high school senior mascot is a dragon. Take that, monkey!

Well, if I really must -

I'm Pat Buchanan. But I didn't particularly want to reveal my identity. Cops use the internet too, y'know.

I just looked him up on Wikipedia. Is he a Republican?

No - he's Jack... That is, Firestarter is Pat, who is Jack who is really not because he's Pat Buchanan. :wink: Right?

Apparently Pat ran for president in 2k.

You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, instead, you should read every single book to see what every book is about before you even come close to judging its viability.

The secret is out. All those carefully-laid plans I did of making sure everybody called me Jack have gone out the window.

Well...

Pat Buchanan is a paleo-conservative, meaning he is a conservative in the pre World War II sense of the word. On most issues, he is pretty moderate and no different than most politicians. But, there's a couple of issues that put him very far to the right. One, he is against immigration. Not just illegal immigration, but all immigration. Two, he's against the war in Iraq. You'd think that'd put him to the left but for the reasons he is against the Iraq war. Unlike the left, which still advocates American intervention abroad, albeit alongside other countries and usually for huminatarian reasons, Buchanan opposes any American intervention abroad. He believes the US should concentrate on the US and basically forget about the rest of the world. That includes coming to the aid of even our traditional allies, like England and Canada.

ANYWAYS... I started putting Pat Buchanan as an option 'cause I thought it was funny. Not sure why it was funny, but I think it is :D

CARRY ON

Pat has "one of those names"... Instantly recognizeable, and can be put to many uses...

Observe:

Albuquerque!

...

Pat Buchanan! See! I can do it, too!

Or we can play MadLibs(c)

One day, I was walking down the Pat Buchanan. I suddenly looked up, and there was a Pat Buchanan. "Pat Buchanan!" I exclaimed... etc...

Pat Buchanan? Good god....talk about a slacker ex boyfriend from hell....we had some pleasureable moments, good kid, but the dude HATES my Sooper Gaian Green Salad! How dares he! EVERYONE loves my SGGS! So I told him...it was either this, or BUST! He choose the latter...and then he ran for president in 2k...You think this is not funny? *mumbles something about being a cold hearted biotch*

Thanks for the insight everyone. Before I put up this post I always thought Pat Buchanan was some kind of movie star like Chuck Noris or Bruce Willace.
