		<description>We can solve both problems by periodically shooting all the politicians.

		<description>Yeah, Ryan is the National Security Adviser, and enough people are killed in an attack that he is next in line.  I think the book is &quot;Sum of All Fears&quot;.

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://myblogisaboutnothing.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nobody&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;,I particularly liked your two most recent photos about &lt;a href=&quot;http://nobodys-corner.com/2008/10/democrats/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Democrats&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://nobodys-corner.com/2008/10/republican/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Republicans&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.avitable.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Avi&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, what, does he kill everyone in Congress?

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.miss-britt.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Miss Britt&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, You are right on those challenges.  From what I understand, our founding fathers were part-time politicians.  They had businesses.  Farms.  Families.  Politics was a part-time job that they did out of love for their country and insistence on the inalienable right of freedom.  I keep dreaming of a system where most of the government is filled with REAL people, not just people elected by real people.  Instead of 545 full-time politicians, I&#039;d actually rather just a few invisible people behind the scenes control everything with a full-time job.  Cloak and Dagger stuff.  At least with newbies flowing in and out, learning this, exposing that, it&#039;d be HARDER to get fleeced.  

I mean, can you IMAGINE the blog posts you&#039;d have, Miss Britt, if you actually were a Senator for a year?  The things you&#039;d learn?  The things you&#039;d expose?

Being a politician should be like jury duty - any citizen can do it, NAY, has a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2005/09/30/thing-a-week-3-ws-duty/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;DUTY&lt;/a&gt; to do it.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogography.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dave&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, definitely a favorite.  probably THE favorite.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://ourlifesabeach.blogspot.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Evil Genius&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, I knew you were evil, but I guess you&#039;re genius, too!

&lt;a href=&quot;http://sybillaw-sybilcrankypants.blogspot.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sybil Law&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, I can&#039;t wait until we graduate from well-written essays to well-behaved politicians.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.banalleakage.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;martymankins&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, I really think you&#039;d like that comic a lot.  I hereby promise if we ever meet up at a Dave event, I&#039;ll give you a PbS book!

&lt;a href=&quot;http://tfchouse.wordpress.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cap&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, you know, &quot;term limits&quot; will probably be banned as a word from the language if we let them continue like they do.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://ablondeandherblog.blogspot.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;BlondeBlogger&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, I know!  RAT IS AWESOME IN THAT STRIP!

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chista1749.blogspot.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Faiqa&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, are you working for OJ?</description>

		<description>My understanding of copyright as it applies to academic work and general literature is &quot;as long as you cite, you&#039;re alright.&quot;  OMG, I totally just made that rhyme up.  But, I don&#039;t know if a blog fits into that category, though, I think you are pretty academic sometimes &lt;--compliment.  Anyway, regarding the last article, it&#039;s astounding how many people don&#039;t realize the truth that Congress approves the budget.

		<description>&quot;Scoundrels&quot; is the only word for them, except a 4 syllable one that would get my comment deleted. :) 
  The problem is we keep voting for them, choosing the evil we know over the evil we&#039;re not familiar with.  And they have no term limits.  
  Love the comic!

		<description>In all honesty, I&#039;ve never heard of that comic strip.  Will have to visit it now in the future.  Anything after Calvin and Hobbes has left me comic-less.  I still read some comics here and there (Penny Arcade is one I like a lot, and The Modern World is another one I like to read.

Anyway, off the subject.... back to the post at hand.  That article actually made sense and was a good read.

I hate politicians. 
Also, the comic rocks. :)
