I've thought for some time that it's time to just solve the
problem. All we need is a couple hundred million bucks.
Given that Ross Perot was able to make a credible run for
President on a hundred million dollars, it should be perfectly
feasible to find someone who is electable, marketable, has a
skeleton in his closet, and who will sign an executive order
once elected.
