Why, Sleepyjeff- I do believe you and Chavez have more in common than you might think.;)

That's where I am (though for no reasons connected to the burnout issue). I'm pretty much universally opposed to term limits at any level. Obviously, this one is built into the constitution and isn't such a high priority to me that I'd campaign to change it but if given the opportunity I would vote to repeal the 22nd Amendment.

I feel pretty much the same way about all other "protect the electorate from themselves" eligibility rules for office. So I'd get rid of the age limit and citizenship as well. And for lesser office, residency requirements would also go away.

If the people of Wyoming collectively decide they want their senator to be a 15-year-old who lives in Vermont then why not let them live with their choice?

If a 29-year-old Brazilian can win election to President of the United States, then why not?

If the majority of the people (for the most part) decide that after Bush II, another nine terms of Bill Clinton would be appropriate, then I'm ok with that.

Which is why I'm as angry at the current Democrat led Congress for doing nothing to stop the madness, as I was at the previous Republican Congress for rubber stamping the madness.

In this one narrow area I suppose.......but then again, I also believe the US should drop its' restrictions on sugar imports(now I have something in common with Castro)

;)

Hah!

Actually we have that in common. I want to see them remove the tariffs on imported sugar and encourage soft drink and other food makers to move away from high fructose corn syrup in favor of the real thing.

Found this amusing. From this article,

Wow, pancakes AND Chuck Norris. I don't know where to even begin, but there is at least one good joke there.

I hear Gulliani is recruiting Jim Nabors...

I would love to see that too. I really don't care how it's done but it is getting harder and harder to find products that aren't full of HFCS (other than shopping at TJs, which I do on a regular basis).

I wouldn't mind that, as long as there was an annual or bi-annual election to determine whether or not they should continue serving. That would keep 'em on their toes.
