And From The Great State Of Pennsylvania,

Do ya want a laugh? Google Representative Joe Pitts, Pennsylvania 16th district, on his middle-east peace talks plan. In a 2012 email response to a question on the subject, he suggests that Ariel Sheron (in a coma for years) and Yasser Arafat (died in 2004) restart peace talks. Now I know that getting the two sides to agree would be difficult under any plan, but I think Rep. Pitts has come up with the most difficult plan to implement of all the plans ever put forward. When's the last time you were able to get a dead man and someone in a coma to agree or disagree on anything. The problem is that they just won't talk to each other. Okay, that's probably not a polite way to put this, but I can't find the words to express how much I appreciate this thoughtful congressman and his unending desire for a final and lasting peace in the middle-east. I can only imagine what other topics he's willing to share his farsighted wisdom on. You don't suppose he would suggest this country set about writing a constitution, do you? Who would you think he might nominate to write it? How many states do you think he might include in this historic endeavor he's offering? How many divisions of government would he consider optimal? I'll bet he has some views on a place called Viet-Nam. And Korea as well. What do you suppose he might want to suggest as a way to get out of a Great Depression, should one ever come up? Is he aware that an electric light bulb has been invented that illuminates whole rooms? No, electric is what Ben Franklin found on a kite string, tell him. The thing is folks, a whole bunch of people voted for this guy. You may want to give some thought to whom you will vote for, in the future.
