#2 on the list is something I've been wanting to see implemented for a while. Though I was thinking more along the lines of a 5 year cooling off period that includes all levels of political races. But, nothing succeeds like excess, so why not go for the gold on this one.
Quote:) Think of the advertising money saved
Forgot where I read the Modest Proposal piece, but instead of saving ad money, why not think about generating more of it? Have NASCAR style jumpsuits for candidates, with the amount of donation be proportional to the logo size. Shake and bake man, shake and bake.
Quote:) Furthers the prophetic vision of "Idiocracy" the movie
) Trump tromped on live TV
) The worlds superpower needs a super human leader
Idiocracy while one of my favorite movie, is looking less like satire nowadays and more like a fairytale. Prez Camacho despite his cartoonish larger than life character, is actually a pretty good leader considering. He genuinely cares for the people, and does not seem power hungry.
As for Trump, he's no Ted "Million Dollar Man" Dibiase.
