stupid com.. no, just stupid

Been following the narrative of the upcoming midterm elections with interest and amusement as the Republicans attempt to wipe the memory of eight years of failure out of the minds of the American voters. And you'd think that after the spectacular train wreck of their governance (see: 2000-2008), they would dust themselves off, look at what they did wrong, and try to fix things, to try to get some smart, principled candidates with the best interests of the nation at heart. But instead, they're determined to saddle America with an even more brain-damaged,fraudulent, looney-tunes gang of screwheads. Thus demonstrating their contempt for the intelligence of the American voter. And who knows? Maybe the American voter deserves it. I mean, they gave the Bush gang the full eight years to screw things up. Do I think the Dems are perfect? Oh hell no. But if it's a choice between a wishy washy Dem and a R who thinks America is under Sharia law, I'll go with the wishy washy every time. Better than insane.

I think that would be a swell idea. I'd love to have a Congress full of the middle class rather than millionaire lawyers.

I have a similar idea for professional sports - every city has a lottery and every year they pick nine local people to play baseball, however many guys to play basketball, football, etc. Locals only. Certainly would make the games more interesting.
