Independence Day [soon]. I don't buy the official story in the history books. I consider it unlikely that there was a time when the British were the assholes and the French were on our side. I want to know what really happened. I can handle the truth.
"We always have been, we are, and I hope that we always shall be detested in France."
The Duke of Wellington apparently said that a long time ago. Leaving aside the merits of John F. Kerry, I don't buy his argument that the French hate us because of George Bush, and if he were President all that would change. They wouldn't like us if we moved the Capitol to New Orleans (which, by the way, would kick ass and I recommend).
Now I see where this post is going. In honor of Independence Day here is a list of changes I think should be made in the Federal Gov't.
1) As discussed above, move Capitol to New Orleans.
2) Re-institute tax on tea and stamps.
3) Hire Mark Burnett to run C-SPAN.
4) Repeal every Constitutional Amendment after #15.
5) Mandate that all budget appropriations be done in cash, and Congress members must count the money by hand to make sure it is right.
6) New National Anthem, written by a guy not named Francis (or Randy [unless Macho Man]).
7) Rename branches of military (Army, Air Force, Navy). Now to be called Earth, Wind, and Fire.
8) Replace Ruth Bader Ginsberg with Judge Judy, Replace Reinquist with Judge Mills Lane.
9) Census Bureau replaced with spammer email address CD.
10) Following longstanding tradition, take over Indian Casinos.
My one reader chastisted me that the posts need to be short. I end here. Thanks.
