Mesic for President

I thought this one was kind of funny...  The new president of Croatia appears to be a distant relative of mine.  Stipe Mesic was recently elected the new President of Croatia and with my name having slavic roots, I imagine that we are somehow distant relatives.  I actually know very little about my family history, and outside of my family, have never met another person with my last name.  Obviously, some spelling was probably changed at Ellis Island because I have seen different variations of my name on the web.  Whatever the case, I wish President Mesic the best of luck!  (Incidently, the runner-up, a darkhorse candidate who lives in the United States, is named Boris Miksic.  Perhaps he's the real distant relative, I doubt I'll ever know.)

If you ever run for President, I would vote for you. If you do run, I would love to help with the campaign and speech writing.

I'll volunteer for your speechwriting team as well, Chris. And I have some experience in the field, as well. Just say when the campaign begins....
