If we can write in candidates on a ballot, can we write in positions?
Like, say, vote for Obama for Supreme Court instead of president? Or Nancy Pelosi for Attorney General? Or Orin Hatch for the guy who cleans out the diaper fetish room in the Republican Office?

I think it would be fun!


We probably can't, though, because the government never lets us do anything fun.

7. Oh, and you'll need a budget
of £348,000,000 per year to be spent on all your available products — such as research fellowships on the Anglo-French Silly Walk, Le Marche Futile.

9. It comes from the government
You see there's Defence, Social Security, Health, Housing, Education, Silly Walks — they're all supposed to get the same. But last year, the Government spent less on the Ministry of Silly Walks than it did on National Defence!

11. Only "biggest"? I'm insulted.
I should think it would be at least "unsurpassably biggest".
