In many states, if you can believe it, the highest paid public official is a basketball coach. I'm glad to say that in Georgia it's a football coach, which is what God intended. In fact, in forty states the highest-paid public employee is a coach, in most cases, a football coach. In New Hampshire, it's a hockey coach, which is kind of weird, but then, you know... New Hampshire.
Some short-sighted states like Montana waste their money on college presidents - chumps. They don't see the incalculable benefit expert coaching could provide.
So here's the scenario: the Chinese come over and say, "Hey, USA, you owe us a bunch of money, where is it." And Barack, he plays it all cool like, "Sure, China, I got your money. Ten trillion, right? It's right here in my desk. But say... How'd you like to go double or nothing... on a game of football?"
