This random thought was posted recently on the website reddit.com.

"If Barack Obama is the POTUS [President of the United States], then Jack Markell is the GOD [Governor of Delaware]."

It was posted by a user named longconsilver13 under the category of "showerthoughts."

The "showerthoughts" category is described as a place for people to "share all those thoughts, ideas, or philosophical questions that race through your head when in the shower" or doing some other routine task like driving or daydreaming.

Some of my "showerthoughts" ... at least the ones that can be published:

What if that Malaysian plane was targeted by an alien spacecraft and CNN knows it but is withholding the information?

What does "squatchy" mean, and why am I even watching this show?

If Joe Biden did drink real beer, would it be Dogfish 60 or Pabst Blue Ribbon?

If Delaware legalizes marijuana, (a) will more food places stay open 24/7, and (b) how much better will Firefly be?

Matt "The Demon" Denn takes on Chris "The Sinister Senator" Coons in a UFC mixed martial arts bout. Who wins?

Would I rather eat oysters with a bunch of men or shrimp with a bunch of women?

If the government were to actually look at the searches done on my iPhone, how fast would I be under surveillance?

What if all the bridges over the C&D Canal were to fall down at once? What if I were on the wrong side when it happened? Worse yet, what if I was on one of them?

Heels or flats?

I really miss Ruth Ann Minner's white-shoe test.

And just this morning ... Why am I taking a shower? I'm just going to get dirty again.
