I thought “evil” was one of those simple minded words we’d now outgrown. Remember all the rolling eyes at phrases like “axis of evil” and “evil-doers”? Admittedly I’m not smart like the Democrats but I don’t think the evil protesters ever killed anybody, unlike non-evil terrorists who need to be taken in our lap and asked “awww, what’s the matter, lil buddy?” Clearly Harry Reid needs to apologize for his very existance and start an dialogue with Pelosi and Obama about the root causes of “why do they hate us”.

Personally, I like being an Evil Monger™. It sounds like a video game boss. Who carries, like, this big club with spikes sticking out of it. And goes “roaaaaaarrrr” every six seconds.

One way to do it is to write a constitution that says they only get limited power. Things like powers not given to congress are for the states and the people. But this only works if they are at least smart enough to read the rules, which doesn’t seem to be the case right now.

Politicians like lawyers, are entrepreneurs. Where else do you see entrepreneurs. Oh right, in the market. This is where the devil has an upper hand to some sort. The reason we elect wealthy people to government is because they already get their wealth from the market, not from their jobs in the gubmint. Therefore they can devote their brainpower to governance. At least that’s how a Republic is supposed to run.

People who get into gubmint in order to create their wealth are parasites. Any career pols or RINOs come to mind?

I think it’s time to dissolve the US. It was a neat idea but it didn’t turn out to be all it was cracked up to be. Separate states would be better than this.

Or just whack the parts that are specifically forbidden by the instruction manual. That would be better too.

Ah, Congress. A truculent, poor civil servant with designs of being a fearful Master.

If they ask us to go through the canard every two years of voting, then I say we just regulalrly vote the bums out. Anyone who wants to be in Congress should automatically be disqualified from running for office.

Damn! Not an original thought to this post…but I still like it. I have spoken.

Burp!

Basil: loving the 28th Amendment!

I’m sure there are tons of people like me (and all of you) who could do a great job in congress, but don’t have the time, wealth of connections to run for office. Kind of sucks that the process eliminates great minds like ours.

We could give them all something that rattles and lights up to amuse themselves with. Then when something important comes up. The return home to be told either to say yes or no. Other than that they get to talk a lot, but not touch our stuff.

". Like if I owned a McDonald’s and one of the employees called me an “evil-monger,” that would not do well for his performance review" I believe in that situation he would become one with the Happy Meal

Many states have their legislatures in session for only a short period of time. We should do that: have Congress meet in January for, say, 90 days. If they can't do anything in those 90 days, we probably didn't need it done anyway. If something important came along, like a bunch of crazies fly planes into buildings or they revamp the BCS again, then the president can call them into session. Oh, and since it's a part-time job, they wouldn't need all that staff. Or a full-time paycheck. Pay them minimum wage while they're actually in session (make them clock in). Oh and pass my proposed 28th Amendment, which would require Congressmen to be present for a full reading of all bills on which they vote.

Anytime a congressperson comes up with an idea, we should say, “yeah, we could do that. ……orrrrr, you could go on vacation for a month. Anywhere you want to go, its on us. Yeah, we thought you’d like that idea. Go on, then, have a nice time.” It’d be cheaper and quieter for the rest of us.
