Here's 10 people that should run for president in 2010, but undoubtedly won't...although they might conceivably win.
10. The Ask a Ninja Guy
Okay, nothing would get done, but who cares? His state of the union address would be epic.
9. Tim the Dorito Samurai
Self-explanatory.
8. Neville Longbottom
Why? Because he's a BAMF.
7. The Reanimated Corpse of Abraham Lincoln
Hey, it'll be 2012, if we haven't mastered reanimation, what is the future good for anyway?
EPIC!
6. James Earl Jones
Darth Vader, Mufasa, CNN, God, why not the President? Because America is stupid, that's why!
5. Tom Hanks
You could travel the world, and find not a soul who can genuinely dislike Tom Hanks. Believe me I tried. Has he had some bad movies? Sure *cough*davincicode*cough*. But you can't hate him. It is physically impossible.
4. Arnold Shwarzenegger (Aunuld Shwazzinayger)
GET TO THE CHOPPAH! It would be historic, it's lame that you have to be born here anyway, besides, we all know it would it would be awesome to have the Terminator as president. The presinator. The termident. Okay, not as cool as The Govanator, but hey, whatcha gonna do? That's right, vote for him!
3. Samuel L Jackson
You know you'd vote for him. Samuel L Jackson is the Chuck Norris for non-rednecks. Once again, BAMF.
2. Steve Jobs
Think about what he could do with his campaign. Insane marketing capacity, and a league of fan-boys that makes the Trekkies shiver in fear.
11. Lady Gaga
With more Facebook fans than Barack Obama and God combined, she's the only one who really has an icicle's shot in a deep-fryer of winning. Seriously, since its debut in 2008, "The Fame" has been a presence in the top 10 of the Billboard 200, falling out only a few months ago, not to mention her insanely successful singles, and with a new album on the way, well, she's unstoppable.
1. L from Death Note
Yup, you were tricked! Lady Gaga is #11, haha, twist ending! L is teh gratesst characture evar!!!!!!!!!1one!! Seriously though, L for President spread the word. He knows the importance of carbs in supporting brain function, since brain cells primarily use glucose as opposed to fats and proteins in their functions, excluding brain growth which obviously involves serious proteins, this is why stupid people cut carbs from their diets. also, this video.

A Quick Retraction and my Five Fave Bands.
Okay, first thing first, MGMT is a good band. I needed a tenth band for my list, and they were handy. Over the last week or so, I've discovered they are an acquired taste, and I've now acquired it. "Kids" which I previously stated was their "only good song" is their mainstream hit. If you hear the song, you probably won't think mainstream, but yeah, it is.
And now, my five favorite bands.
5. LUDO
I first heard of Ludo when they went on tour with my #1 on this list, but I didn't check them out until they released "Prepare the Preparations" which I bought on a whim. Best whim ever. An insanely eclectic piece of awesome, it features everything from smooth jazz, to classic bard playing, to heavy metal, all in one song. For all the genres the album encompasses, it would take up the rest of the blog, but the point is, they're all good. Can't wait to get more of there music, but unfortunately like everyone else, I'm broke. Oh, and did I mention, the lyrics are hilarious?
4. Ben Folds Five/Ben Folds
A superbly talented musician, Ben Folds has found himself a large fan-base, and most of them are younger than him. Piano pop/rock is not dead, it's just on life support, and that life-support is Ben Folds. Metaphors aside, you will have difficulty finding a more gifted musician. Unlike most of these other bands, his music is instantly accessible. However, like all these other bands, it is infinitely listenable. He has a large catalogue so of course I have a lot to listen to, but I have no doubt it will never cease to impress me.
3. Family Force 5
Say what you will about "Dance or Die", Family Force 5 is an amazing band. For once I have both of their albums (don't have "Dance or Die with a Vengeance", but hey, not made of money). While there is a big stylistic difference between their two albums, the core style remains, overbearing self-aware camp, phat beats and freaking awesomeness.
2. The Killers
The Killers are the most mainstream band on my list, scoring four albums in the top 10. Does that mean I'm a sell-out a shill and a poser? Heck no, it means they're awesome. "Hot Fuss" is an integral part of my life's soundtrack, but they're true masterpiece is "Day & Age". Even the critically derided "Sam's Town" is worth a look. While the lyrics are sometimes lacking and overwrought, one thing you know is it will always sound awesome. And after all, isn't that what music is all about? Note: Brandon Flowers solo album is so-so, you can't compensate for Killers.
1. Relient K
Surprised? Then you don't know me. I have every single one of their albums. Sue me, they're awesome. Lyrically inspired on every tune, never missing a chance at awesomeness, they are the soundtrack of my life. They've changed a lot over the years, but I for one dig the changes. The old stuff is still good, but it can't match the emotional and musical depth of their new stuff. If you're a poser fan who knows "Sadie Hawkin's Dance" and has a burned copy of "MMHMM", then take another look at this band. You'll never look back.
And now, my five favorite bands.
