Do we think presidential assassinations would be a common occurrence if there were no Secret Service?

And here I thought yesterday’s entry had set a record that would stand for weeks. It’s going to be awesome in 15 years when these two guys are running the Washington Post and the New York Times.

There’s going to be a WaPo and NYT in 15 years? You’re such a pessimist.
“Food stamp and welfare work requirements are demeaning and difficult. Why don’t we try something new–treating people like adults–and just give money to poor people?”
“Do cars really need brakes? Couldn’t GM save a lot of money using Flintstone-type foot stopping?”
“I’ve always heard that ‘Gravity is not just a good idea, it’s the law’. But if we take back the House, why not pass a new law that would allow aircraft to fly without the expense of gravity?. Probably a lot of special interests against it.”
WaPo and NYT? Try House and Senate. Eventually they will realize it is way more fun having actual power, as opposed to writing about people who have power. Plus, think about the awesome Trivial Pursuit games they could have within the halls of congress!
