scott started it
He sent me a note about this shit right here, and I wrote this, which I found somewhat amusing through the haze of caffeine and remorse:
Having once again decided that he’s got the most importantest job in
the whole universal galactica, and that must be better than some
stupid laws that he didn’t even write himself, the president has
issued another “I’ll do just as I damn please, skip-daddy” proclamation
and added a couple of “nyah nyah’s” for good measure. The “co-equal”
branch of government that is NOT the president, if you can believe
such a thing might be - the framers of the constitution obviously
thought that in times at the crisis-roads, what was extra-criticalest
thing was, e.g “is”, (was) that some super-man should leap forth, seize
the reins of protectorhoodate and In-Charge-Guy, and do whatever he
thinks is best, perioder. It’s all right there if you just read it -
this co-equal branch jumped on the plan with wild emboldenment, sent
out a batch of stern, uncompromising fundraising letters, and left
town for the first two weeks of their 6 months of paid annual
holidays. Which is almost as much as the president, who has to get more because
he’s the betterest of all! Yay president-man! Yay democracy! Yay USA!
