Hi all,

I was listening to the Diane Rehm show today and there was a caller after an
interview with President Clinton who complained about all the time that the
executive and legislative branches wasted conducting and hearing the
impeachment of the president.  That struck me funny and my first reaction was
that keeping them all busy was a good idea.

So now, my new suggestion to improve the government of the US, is to keep a
constant impeachment process going.  In fact, multiple ones.  The more clogged
that law-makers are, the less they can screw up.

Anyone?

Chris
