I bring much experience from my Canada Customs job where I screened porn for a living.
Best. Job. Ever.


I claim control over the Ministry of Harassment.

Still carrying steam from another thread...

I suggest the following policy be passed along to the other countries of the world: Allowing your citizens to jump up and down in the streets burning our flag is now an act of war.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Jeez! You're talking about federal government growth, here! I'd like to be remembered as a nice, Sulla-type dictator who tried to reign in excessive Populist practices.

Alright, let's be strict in doling out positions.

Rob, since you scared people away from intelligence jobs, you're now the National Security Advisor.

Ted, you've got the CIA.

Imperator, you've got the NSA.

fgalkin is SecState.

Soulman is UnSecState.

Coyote is SecDef.

Joint Chiefs of Staff: Prawn, Phong, and Mark. I think you can figure out which services you have.

Atlan has NASA.

Pounder has agriculture (we all know what it was developed for in the first place).

Lt. Cmdr. Smi has the Post.

Andrew has Treasury.

Hemlock has the Interior (Any landowner will tell you that's harassment.)

Typhonis has the Marshals service.

And for the moment I'm giving Stormbringer Customs.

..Oh, and if Valdemar wanders into this thread, he gets the CDC.

The FBI, BATF, and all the drug-enforcement agements will be disbanded, with other reforms to follow. I'll just flagrantly violate the constitution and then stuff the Supreme Court and have my judges validate everything; If I manage Roosevelt-level popularity I'll get away with it in this day and age, and the system I'm planning will revert to a (my idea of normal) function after my death/resignation.

My, ah, two very special confidantes: Your official jobs will be as rotating Press Secretaries. *grins* The truth will be obvious to... those who know it.

Mike and Aerius: Like you need my help - This regime obviously approves of venture capitalism.

WOOHOOHOOHOO!

Err... I mean... I humbly accept this position, Madam President.

Now, on to business: Joking aside, I'm not actually going to push for the construction of any Imperial Sea Destroyers. I will, however, request that we begin refitting our ships with the latest technology wherever the need exists. Some of our carriers are bloody OLD, and I want to make sure they're up to snuff. Also, let's speed up the CVNX project and dump money into laser research. I was serious about those point defense guns.

Let's find any excuse we can to start busting more heads in the Middle East. (Yes, hippies, I want the sweet OIL!) Also, let's find a way to discreetly lay the smack on Pakistan, leaving India to keep China occupied.

Cool.


And can I have Prawn's job when the SS Manji sinks and takes him with it?

Will you enjoy Andorra sinking your fleet?

Only if you agree to provide the Army with 100+ RO-RO Fast ships
capable of 30+ knots speed, allowing me to move over 10
heavy divisions at once to any spot on the world within a month...

Holy shit, the DOD's budget is going to break the bank with Shep and Prawn in control of the Army and Navy.

I want my MX missiles!

Unfortunately, Prawn will be the victim of a successful assassination
attempt by Stormbringer, who will bring sanity to SecNav's office.
The only thing I want is enough sealift to carry the Army to any spot
within a month. That, and enough funding to revive:

Crusader
XM-8 Buford AGS
Comanche
I want my MX missiles!
Unfortunately, the MX missile program has been absorbed into the
army, as their new IRBM programme. :twisted:

Done. After all we have to be able to be able to spread the enlightened wisdom of President O'Leary to all corners of the global.

By force if necessary.

Good, then we're going ahead with the installation of video cameras in your private quarters so we can begin filming our new lesbian porn series. Now we just gotta come up with a catchy title to market it....

Anybody in the DOD willing to cooperate with NASA to build some orbital laser sattelites?
And for those interested, we`re bringing back the THOR program, and design work has just started on a ORION type SSTO, for those REALLY haeavy payloads. If the DOD can get it`s act together on time I suggest that we launch it from downtown Paris :twisted:

Well, do you want a position? There are still plenty of openings for "intern". After all, the White House does need some footrests and end tables.

As long as you realise that every piece of footage has to be checked by the Press Department first.
I'm not having unflatterign shots making it on to the market!

With projected advances in battlefield lasers, the reign of the helicopter on the battlefield may be cut short. Comanche's procurement could be a victim of this projection.
