In OTHER news...
On President Bush's flight down to Florida yesterday Air Force One changed the breakfast menu from french toast to 'freedom toast.' In further display of patriotism, President Bush then promoted Captain Crunch to Colonel Crunch.

Thanks Conan! :D

4. Um, Cap'n Crunch is naval, ranks are different.

Captain in the sea services is already equivalent to a full bird colonel.

He would have to be promoted to Admiral (or at least an honorary "Commodore")

5. You don't expect Dubya to know that, do you?
And Crunch is such a yes-man, he'd just take the rank and run.

10. Yes to be basic thought, but for clarification, they are an individual
service ("part of the Navy" implies otherwise). Just like with my service - in wartime, we often integrate with the Navy, but the Coast Guard is still an individual service.
