34-Year Old DJ Poised for Violent Ascension to Madagascar Presidency

You are a 34-year old DJ and events organizer. Do you have any realistic chance to immediately assume the presidency of the United States? No you can't! So, goodbye America and hello Madagascar, the new land of equal opportunity. Aforementioned DJ and events oganizer Andry Rajoelina, who at 34 is six years too young to run for the presidency of Madagascar, is anyway poised to claim power via an old-fashioned coup d'etat (though the current president, Marc Ravalomanana, has vowed to fight to the death). 


At 34, Rajoelina will be among the youngest heads of state in the world (though older than the King of Bhutan), and quite plausibly the first ever non-monarch world leader to have played with a He-Man action figure as a child. Some perspective. In 1967, Omar Bongo assumed the presidency of Gabon at the tender age of 31. Some 42 years later, Bongo remains in power, still spry at 73. 

Rajoelina will inspire not only DJs and event organizers with directionless lives, but also  a lot of lazy would-be Obamas around the world, the ones who do not want to bother with community organizing, inspiring people, building up electoral majorities, etc. Yes we can!
