There should be a law!!!!!
If you were The Decider, what laws would you immediately institute?

Mine would be "No family member of a president is permitted to run for president. One president per family."

2. I dont like that
That would mean RFK would have been ineligible to run for president in 1968. As for me laws wise I would make it easier to join a labor union. Increase the minimum wage would also be something I'd do. Federal civil unions with the same exact benefits as marriage and if a church wants to marry the couple that can be allowed too.

4. Alejandro Escovedo's medical bills would be paid
Since the actual Decider claims to be a fan. Afterwards I'd figure out a way to provide quality health care for all

5. Lobbying would be a capital offense
No trial.

If you lobby a representative, you're executed on the spot.

Same if you're a representative who takes a bribe.

7. Ooh I like that.
We could chop the first lobbyist into little pieces, and then use the pieces to stone the next one!

9. I like that even better
But let me up it even further: We chop Rove... no, Cheney into pieces the size of buckshot, press them into shells and shoot lobbyists with him.



HEY, FBI FUCKS! IT'S A JOKE! I'M NOT SERIES!!!11







Well, not very series...

6. Place a maximum wage cap at 4x the amount earned by the poorest.
That is wage represented by total gain in all assests.

8. Tommy Womack would be poet laureate
The fact that he isn't a poet is just a technicality. His book The Cheese Chronicles is the great American novel, despite the fact that it's non-fiction, another technicality. Appointing him would bring him the fame that he deserves, along with enriching the lives of folks that bought his books and albums
