Or were you trying to say presidency?

No, Linda, what I have written, I have written.

"Presidensity" is a word Al Capp used in Li'l Abner, if I remember correctly. It seems to express things very well.

Walt Kelly, in the comic strip Pogo, was brilliant in the same way. One of my favorites was his use of "Congers" for Congress. Slippery, slimy eels.

Adlai Stevenson, losing the presidency to Dwight Eisenhower, said "I'm too old to cry, and it hurts too much to laugh". That seems to encompass my feelings this morning as I sit here hoping Virginia and Montana break the right way.

Thanks for the clarification. Those strips are a little before my time.... although only a little! :)
