Remember when there was a crisis at a nuclear power plant, and the president rushed to the scene...to help, because he's a qualified nuclear engineer? I don't, I wasn't born yet when that happened.

I wasn't either. But when I heard the story I wished we would have another president who cared like that.

And was an engineer or someone else who has had a job that actually matters.

It's not all roses and rainbows: Thatcher was a chemical engineer, and the only thing she engineered while in power was the downfall of England as a world power.

Every time I am reminded that she was a chemical engineer, I picture Thatcher as a more-demure-yet-viciously-effective Yzma.

Edit: And Mr. "Too Tall To Be A Bus Driver" John Major as a blond Kronk?! Oh yeah, it's all coming together.
