Trow Da Bums Away.

Lets go back to the Turnip Truck Theory. To make it simple I'll call it the TTT. Now we've all been hearing about how the country is going to throw out all the incumbents. Well, except for the ones who have been making that claim. They presumably will get reelected. But all the others in Washington will get thrown out. Now if yesterday was any indication, that won't wash. But, fair enough. Let's suppose that were to actually happen. What would happen as a result? That would mean every member of the House of Representatives would be replaced with folks who have no idea what to do or how to do it. Lobbyists enter stage right. One third of the Senate would be replaced. That's 33 1/3 members. Don't ask about the 1/3 member. So what does all this have to do with the TTT? Well for starters, nothing would change. Oh, there might be a few changes to start, but over the long haul nothing would change. You'd still have most folks sitting in the middle, you'd have some folks sitting on the left side of the truck and you'd definitely have some dangling their feet off the right side, and the truck would still hit a bump in the road from time to time, and lefties and righties would still fall off that Turnip Truck. Those are the kooks who keep proposing weird things like throwing away Anchor Babies and other silly ideas. Now don't you feel justified in changing your vote? I'd be in favor of throwing away all those kooks sitting on the outsides of the truck. Wouldn't you? Hey, eventually they'd fall off anyway.
