James: Jessa, should I become a senator?
Me: Ummmmm, no.
James: But why not?! Probably 'cause I'm not that responsible, huh?
Me: Among other things.
James: Wow. That's cold. I could be senator...and do senaty things, and then America would have to obey me.
Me: I'm almost positive that's not how it works.
James: That's EXACTLY how it works.

[James looks down at our dog, who is cleansing its genitals furiously.]
James: Just ask Pilot.
Me: Pilot is a dog.
James: Precisely. He is impartial.
Me:....a dog.
James: AND HE WOULD VOTE FOR ME, TOO!
[Pilot ignores the fierce political debates]
[I go back to my book]
[James fumes and mutters threats against the Death Star, the senate, and wookies]
