Today is the second mid-term election of the current administration, and even without a crystal ball the staff here at Cigars and Legs are willing to bet it is pretty brutal for the current regime.
However, politics isn’t nearly as fun in reality as it is with a bit of an imagination. Your humble author won’t be eligible to become president until the first election at the start of the next decade, but let’s just pretend for a bit, shall we? How would things be different under El Presidente?
Well, let’s start with a few of my interesting cabinet choices:
For Attorney General, I would put forth Mike Danger, and I would ask him to fully back the first, second, fourth, and fifth amendments, and go after any government agency (federal, state, or local) that tried to curb those rights unjustly.
For Secretary of Defense, first, I would have the department renamed Secretary of War. We wouldn’t engage in such foolish “defense” activities as invading other countries. We would only engage in war, when necessary. Then I would select a particularly intelligent man who was good at managing actual strategy from the ranks of our generals. Having a politician or anyone non-military at the top of the military is foolish.
Treasury would be headed up by The Captain. A balanced budget would be his first priority.
It isn’t a cabinet position but I would put Matt Forney in as Press Secretary. It would be well worth it.
There are more, of course. But I’m not sure how I’d re-arrange the cabinet yet…
