    Good Lord . . .

    this is terrifying. Make an "example" of enough Blue Dogs and somehow they will return to the fold? Why don't you kids just publish a list of how you think members of Congress should vote and kill the ones who don't? Bullet to the back of the noggin out behind Rayburn and a shallow grave on the Mall, covered in quicklime.

    Better yet, why not skip the voting all together? Just institute a Counsel of the Enlighted and let them decide everything for us.
