I thought this was worth a few minutes of time.

Quote
A reader suggests that members of Congress should wear uniforms, like NASCAR drivers, so that we will know who their corporate sponsors are. Many of those in Congress should also wear logos representing the teachers' unions, environmentalist extremists and other special interests.
Now that is a good idea.  :)  Someone like Ron Paul ought to get a suit made like this to wear to Congress (not a wookie suit). 

Quote
They say we live and learn. Often what we learn is what damn fools we have been.

Quote
An e-mail from a reader whose job requires him to take urine tests, to make sure he is drug-free, wonders why he is taxed to provide money to people on welfare who are also on drugs. He thinks they should have to take urine tests too, before they get his money.
Sounds good to me.

Why, so you can see all the pork projects he voted for? Or the names of all his relatives he gives money to?

At least it would be a bit of honesty instead of politicians complaining about problems they themselves helped create in the first place.  :)  It probably isn't practical though.
