<p>Remember Roseanne Barr the snarky comedienne that delighted (and offended) audiences on ABC for nearly ten years? She has filed to become a candidate for president representing the Green Party.</p>
<p>She believes in issues like free health care, gay equality, legalization of marijuana and stands firm on the platform that men have messed-up the world for long enough. It's time to let the women (in conjunction with Mother Earth) take the reins. She compares herself to Isis and Cleopatra…</p>
<p>Remember Roseanne Barr the snarky comedienne that delighted (and offended) audiences on ABC for nearly ten years? She has filed to become a candidate for president representing the Green Party.</p>
<p>She believes in issues like free health care, gay equality, legalization of marijuana and stands firm on the platform that men have messed-up the world for long enough. It's time to let the women (in conjunction with Mother Earth) take the reins. She compares herself to Isis and Cleopatra and has waged war on Monsanto.</p>
<p>I think she is having fun with this, but I'm not sure.</p>
<p>I think she is serious about wanting to run the nation, but I'm not sure.</p>
<p>I think she may be sane in enough to hold public office...but I'm not sure.</p>
<p>My problem with her candidacy is that I'm just not sure whether she's serious or kidding; or whether she's funny or not. Is she another Pat Paulsen or 'Snoopy'? She is sparking interest, which veteran Green Party candidate Jill Stein does not seem to be achieving. Is it a good thing to have someone who might grab her crotch at every singing of the National Anthem overshadowing someone that has proven to be a more capable legislator? </p>
<p>I believe that a little humor injected into any situation is a good thing, but is what Roseanne is doing 'humor'? I believe it is good to have a serious leader who we can laugh at from time to time, but am not sure I could handle a laughable president that I'll have to try and take seriously once in a while.</p>
<p>In the movie "Man of the Year" a comic manages to get elected to the high office through a computer malfunction. One line stuck with me when Robin Williams ultimately decides that he is not the best man for the job, "I'm a Jester. A Jester doesn't rule the kingdom; He makes fun of the king."</p>
<p>Can you take Roseanne's candidacy seriously? Does she? Does the party? How about the nation?</p>
