PETER FONDA, now in the kids' movie "Thomas and the Magic Railroad," has very grown up political ideas. Considering the GOP hoo-hah begins this weekend in Philly, I wound Peter up and let him go.

"I'd make a good president. I'd be honest. I know about all that other stuff, why nobody should do this or that, because I've been there.

"I don't want to be president, but I would if there's such extraordinary emergencies that our already bad infrastructure totally breaks down. In that case I'd not hesitate to declare martial law. I'd call on every governor to call out their National Guard.

"I'd get rid of the whole government, then replace both houses so life continues, since mail has to be delivered, food must be disseminated. I'd disallow anyone to re-run for office, limit all political campaigns to $50,000, and all public service to two terms. I'd disallow the perks public servants give themselves. I'd pass a law that no state can bury a pet project in a bill. Say a bill on education. No local pols can attach to it some pork-barrel law that helps a few voters in the home state.

"I'd fire every federal judge because they're the most corrupt of the bunch. Not all were lawyers. Few understand the law. And lawyers don't even recall how to interact with our social system. I'd keep in place only the Supreme Court. I'd lock them into their building. They'd slip papers out to me, I'd slip meals in to them - until they could put democracy in place.

"Once I'd readied the new infrastructure and seen that we'd all returned to the Bill of Rights, I'd go back to my ranch in Montana and hope I get another movie."

Peter Fonda for president.

He may not be the man for the job but I'd love to see someone clean house like that.

This counrty needs an enima.

Somewhere about halfway through that process I would personally acquire a .50BMG with the accuracy required to splatter Mr. Fonda all over the sidewalk and sacrafice myself (if necessary) to put a stop to it. What an idiot.
 
Henry Fonda was a good actor, but his kids are a bit weird. Then who isn't in todays generation X. Remember that old song from the sixtys..."Kids, what's the matter with kids today...why can't they be perfect like we were perfect in every way." Or something like that...cripes it was 40 years ago.

I saw Peter on some show awhile back and he said something to this effect,"It's not the machine gun that's the problem, it's the criminal that misuses it," something like that.

For the useless anecdotes file: a couple of years ago I stayed in a really run-down motel in Gilette Wyoming. It was one of those places where you sleep with your clothes on.
In the office the owner had proudly displayed a photo of him and Peter Fonda in front of the room Fonda stayed in. Either the Easyrider was short on cash, wanted an "experience," or has no concept of cleanliness.

Jack: Please PLEASE don't do anything like that.


I don't want to see Gore on TV saying something retarded about trigger locks again. . . .
 
One good idea in there would be a constitutional provision, or just a Congressional law which states something like "no law shall be passed that addresses more than one general subject in the same bill". This would go a long way toward the eliminating much of the pork-barrel politics, yet still allow legislators to wheel and deal within the confines of the same subject matter. It would stop crap like burying hidden gun control, or whatever, in stacks of paperwork in a totally unrelated bill.
 
Futo,

That was the basic idea behind the "Line Item Veto" passed by the GOP Congress and signed by Clinton.

It was thrown out by the courts!
 
Peter Fonda would not make a good president because, afterall, he has never played a POTUS on teeeeveeee or in the flicks.

Here's a difficult question: Which Fonda kid is the most screwed up? I have to go with Jane (treason is a grave crime), but it's a close call.
 
"not all of them (federal judges) were lawyers"

????

Someone help me here, perhaps what he meant was that not all of them ever were practicing trial attorneys, but isn't membership in the bar kind of a pre-req for a judgeship ?
