politics.

I’m not an anarchist, but how about a break from this whole ‘president thing’?

Here is what I propose-

Elect a farm animal to take the role of president (nothing metaphorical here, just practical politics.) This system will ensure a safe, stable presidential system, but it will also provide the nation with a scapegoat in which to place the nation’s woes. Whats more, an assassination of the president could mean more fried chicken. Everyone loves chicken.

In fact I would like to take this further and say that when a politician finishes their term in any branch of government, they should automatically be replaced by a farm animal of their choice. After a decade, or so, a political cleansing will have taken place and we can reinstate regular unpredictable and untrustworthy humans to run our checks and balances.

You might say that having a senate chamber full of farm animals is probably the closest you could get to anarchy in every sense of the word. I would mostly agree, except that when you elect a cow into political office, you know exactly what to expect from it: Milk and Beef. So if all the animals are consistently producing the things we expect from farm animals, then we may actually have the closest thing to organized and reliable government we may ever get.

There would probably have to be a prohibition on mudslinging.

Obama says Palin is lipstick on a pig? Well, there is one voter out there who would like to see that pig become a reality.

Pork for President.
