Introducing Captain Regulation

Say hello to one of America's unsung super heros, Captain Regulation.

Years ago he was just a file clerk at the National Archives in Washington, DC, but even back then he knew that many members of Congress did not understand the central role that the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR for short) plays in providing order and justice all across our fair land.

One day when installing a new and much more powerful memory chip in his office computer, he accidentally touched the power cord while still holding the mother board. ZAP! FLASH!

When he came to, he knew something had changed. Every time a member of Congress said, or even thought, the word “regulation” he was instantly aware of it. He began to compile lists of the members who had a special interest in federal regulations and vowed to help them understand the intricacies of rule making.

In recognition of his unique role in protecting good government, the US Senate secretly built the Fortress of Regulation right inside the National Archive. From this sophisticated 21st century listening post in the heart of Washington, Captain Regulation stands guard.

He has sure had his hands full with the current crop of freshman Republicans.

Blueskygirl was very pleased to be able to meet Captain Regulation in person recently. Of course, she spoke with him about some of his recent run-ins with AMB. Now for the first time anywhere That's Our Gal is proud to release some excerpts from the Captain Regulation private archives.
