"My fellow senators, I'd like to read to you the Maryland phone book... oh. Oh, god the smell. I move to vote."
Fresh-eyed movie blogI'm getting tired of this. All the "founding fathers" rhetoric of the recent Age, plus the American people's insistent commitment to electing the dead, suggests to me that we should amend the Constitution so that we enact, as a Republic, a representative necrodemocracy. Necrodemocratic government eschews all the virtues of good old biodemocracies without the vices of moneyed interest and political corruption (unless rotting becomes illegal).
Face the future, people! We have long thought of democracy as the worst form of government in the world save for all the others. Now we have found a form of government better than the worst except for all the others! It's the next inevitable phase.
I'm with Lewis Black on this: we should elect dead people. If nothing else, it will bring some sanity to our political discourse.
