Maybe the government should run the militaries of America's enemies.

Tea Party person Richard Harris (not the actor), articulates his movement's wet dream in an article in the New York Times: "Government should do the military and the roads and just about nothing else. They foul everything up if they do."

In other words, he wants an organization that he thinks is too incompetent or inefficient to do something like deliver a letter to be in charge of defending the country.

That's not "Tea Party," that's "Peter Principle."

It's too stupid to fail.
