I propose adding an 'O' and putting Zap Brannigan in charge.

So, we create a Dept. of Peace, the Republicants get power, and do with that dept. the same thing they did with the "Defense" Department.

It is all how you define the terms. All this did was to establish that the elite Democrats are as far removed from reality as the elite Republicants.

I'll dman well knock tofu if I feel like knocking tofu (which I do) ... until the DOP jackboots force a tofu-burger into my cold, dead hand.

And one other thing! A Department of Peas won't even bring about the tofu revolution the tofites have in mind, and who knows how they'll react ... they might become violent!

Why not go all the way, and establish a full-fledged Department of Legumes?

Pease, beans, lentils (a significant WA export), scotch broom (A significant WA allergen), even castor beans (ricin research, anyone?).

Ronk - good, good

Castor bean plants love this area - get great big with wonderful tropical leaves - nice flowers. Beans along a flower stalk off the trunk. Six feet tall.

The beans are deadly to kids raw

My mom always had some plants carefully tended and warnings every day.......she was an avid grdner when she was younger and had lots of energy.

Wonder why she grew a poinous plant - just to tempt the kids? Will have to ask my sisters.

Uh, Bus Driver Mike, have you ever been to one of these conventions? These delegates are most definitely NOT "elite Democrats".

In my worst political nightmare, President Kucinich creates the Department of Peeps.

all you fucking strager readers do all the time is complain about the war and bush, and now when someone proposes an alternative you ridicule them and call the idea unrealistic.

i seriously want to know... if the pentagon can spend 100's of millions each year on war games and think tanks planning how to bomb the entire planet, why shouldn't we fund an office with a few old hippies to give the prez some better ideas

it may sound silly, but i like the dept of peace
