What’s the Point?
The point is, I’d like to see Politics work like American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, or Survivor (if we could vote). And, no, I’m not kidding. It might be hard to do this with House offices, but certainly we could do this for the Senate and Presidency. Make the Candidates go through questions from “Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?” Make them compete and show us their greatest talent. I’d like to know the President of the United States can catch fish and start a fire without matches, and that he (or she) can Waltz. Shouldn’t our Politicians at least be as capable as Carrie Underwood, Drew Lachey, and Parvati Shallow? Not saying they should be as bright, talented, and cunning as all three combined, but at least excel in two categories. We Americans deserve at least that.
