CAPITOL HILL NEEDS AN ENEMA!

Local elections are taking place and the commercials are all the same. Each candidate saying how bad the other is, but never really saying what he stands for or what his campaign is about. This is not new, nor is it confined to Tennessee local elections.

The issue with Mark Foley is a great example. I certainly am not condoning an adult having internet relations or any relations with minors, but if you were to look at the laundry list of cover-ups and illegal action committed by the posse on the hill, it's fascinating how quickly they can all jump on this fairytale bandwagon of morality and act so shocked about the 'whole filthy incident'. It's as though they all breathe a sigh of relief when they see a scandal like this because it shifts the attention from their malfeasance du jour.

The dirty politicians on the bench and the dirt itself goes so deep in the system there is never going to be any positive change in our government or in our society. There are simply too many people involved, with too many personal agendas, very few of which have anything to do with the real problem. And there are not enough fresh minds in the mix.

So, that said...I propose we perform the proverbial enema on Capitol Hill. Then after all the impurities have been flushed, we narrow down the governing body to 5 people. 2 republicans, 2 democrats, and an independent to break the tie. Done and done.

Happy Halloween kids, and may all your enemas be desired not required.

PEACE
