   We already have a Captain Eddie in Congress. It’s John McCain.

   What’s wrong with these people? The answer is obvious — to minimize corruption, minimize government! The tenth amendment should do that, but has been ignored for decades, so we need amendments that specifically ban things like block grants and other “work-arounds” which have given the Federal government too much power and influence.

   Would he be Repub or Dem or does it matter. Wiley would have a field day slipping in a campaign notice every now and then over the nexr four years

   It’ll be easy to make government small – all you have to do is keep people from having kids.
   But as long as the population keeps growing, there will be increased demands put upon government, local (like police, firefighters, teachers, sanitation workers, highway repair crews, etc.) and national (like air traffic control, customs, coast guard, food and drug safety, etc.).
   Small government only works in small places – like Gilligan’s Island.

    Too bad Flo hadn’t brought this up sooner – Cap’n Eddie would have been a great addition to the primaries (and debates)!
    I’ve thought of running for office myself. My campaign slogan would be “I need the money and insurance.”

    The great conundrum of our time. We need campaign-finance reform and instant-runoff voting, but the only people who are in a position to pass such laws are the very ones most adept at manipulating the current system and most successful at it, so why would they ever want to change it?

    Cap’n Eddie would sail us around our problems,
    or run us aground trying.

    The campaign theme song could be Grand Funk Railroad’s
    “I’m Your Captain.”
    Everybody, listen to me,
    And return me, my ship.
    I’m your captain, I’m your captain,
    Though I’m feeling mighty sick.
