Amusing analogy. Among all the possible parallels, my favorite is the short leash policy. What would it look like if such a concept was applied to congress?
1. Term limits (how many Ted Kennedys we need?) 3 terms for the house, 2 terms for the senate. What’s wrong with going back to private practice after public service?
2. Any bill longer than a New York Times column cannot go to vote.
3. Maximum session duration: 3 weeks.
4. Maximum number of sessions: 6 per year.
None of this is unduly canine. Frustrated carrier politicians would have to find some substitute, like stand-up comedy, for instance. Better than the other way around, methinks.
