A Commander In Chief Of Known Incapacity And Dubious Executive Ability. From The Western Empire At The Time Of George W. Bush (Later Vilified)
At the end of the second millennium of the Christian era, the Empire of the United States of America comprehended the fairest part of the earth and the most acquisitive portion of mankind. The frontiers of that extensive state were guarded by financial clout, diplomatic guile and disciplined valor. The powerful influence of four-star generals and two-bit lawyers had gradually cemented the union of its provinces and its increasingly tubby, gas-guzzling inhabitants enjoyed and abused the advantages of wealth and luxury. The image of a free constitution was preserved with decent reverence by Hollywood: the American Senate appeared to possess the sovereign authority, and devolved on the Presidents all the executive powers of governmental error. But at the end of the first decade of the third millennium America had much less to hope than fear from the chance of arms or free trade. And the prosecution of globalizing wars over bananas, automobiles or genomic medicines became every day more difficult, the arguments more doubtful and the possession of advantage more precarious.
This unique and highly powerful Commander in Chief (CIC), in the form of a canopic jar, was designed to free the commonality of empire of worry about stock options by rendering them worthless. The device is of the CEO type.
The motto on the jar, si possis recte, si non, quocumque modo rem, may be paraphrased as: "make money legally if you can, but if not, make it anyway". Precisely how the CIC worked as a moneymaking fetish is still unclear. The caput caricature has not been identified.
