Term Limits

The idea has been discussed before, but recently it's sounding more and more attractive. Given the current mess we're in, and the fact that most of the people who got us into this are the ones claiming they know how to get us out of it (Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Chuck Schumer, etc.), term limits sure sounds like a good idea.

Poster children for term limits include, but are not limited to, Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd, and Charlie Rangel. If bloodsucking slimeballs like those doddering old fossils can keep getting re-elected, there's something wrong with the system.

So here's a modest proposal: limit all U.S. politicians to two terms.

One in office.

One in prison.
