What would YOU do if you were totally above the law like bush & cheney?
Just day dream a bit, how would you conduct yourself if you had absolutely no fear of prosecution and could get away with virtually any conduct, criminal or otherwise?

Me? I'd make marijuana legal and release all the pot smoking political prisoners, then, I'd round up all the criminals connected to the bush crime family, then I'd prosecute the living fuck out of them, then, I'm not real sure what I'd do....

1. Go to the girls' locker room and watch them shower.
Oh, wait...that's what I would do if I could turn invisible.


...when I was 14.

2. Perhaps, just like Dear Leader does.
Which involves wanking in public.

5. Well, the first thing I'd do is go downtown and kick the canes out from under little old ladies...
Just kidding! ;)

But I like your idea of rounding up all the f*cking neo-cons (Bush, Cheney, et al) and putting them on trial with a real justice department. Then I'd consider the cannabis question.

Essentially the same as you but in reverse order. Then I'd round up all the neo-con hate-radio "personalities" and, using their own words, try them for inciting riots and violence, and the like.

Oh, then I'd nationalize energy and healthcare...

9. Why bother with trials? Just send them to jail. Directly to jail. Let them live with the general,
violent population for a while. Then to the gallows.

close every US military base outside the USA and bring every troop and armament home, destroy almost ever nuclear weapon, give a whole lot of public land back to the Native Americans, ... basically make a few small but needed corrections.

Oh, and call Hugo Chavez for advice on what to do next. LOL

On edit, I almost forgot to redistribute wealth! So easy to overlook in the first minute of my dictatorship. Please accept my heartfelt apology!
