      One of my little ideas for ‘fixes’ for political problems has been ‘if you get voted in, you have the job for life, but can be fired at any time,’ as in out of a canon, at a brick wall. Better keep those approval rates over 66%. Donors come and go. The canon is forever.

        that sounds kind of like reducing vehicle accidents by affixing a very sharp spike pointing at the driver’s heart to the steering wheel. it might work, but it’s not worth the risk. sometimes politicians have to do unpopular things. it’s like taking a potassium pill when your level is low. it helps, but damn if it isn’t unpleasant.
