#2 ...I shall once more propose the 28th Amendment:

"ARTICLE ONE: No person shall be appointed to the office of United States Congressman or United States Senator who is related by blood or marriage to the previous officeholder."

#3 Sinecure = synonym for rent-seeking?

Reminds me a song by Chip Taylor and The New Ukrainians titled "F#ck All The Perfect People."

First couple of verses lyrics:

To be or not to be
To free or not to free
To crawl or not to crawl
Fuck all those perfect people!

To sleep or not to sleep
To creep or not to creep
And some can't remember, what others recall
Fuck all those perfect people!

#6 Those probably cost several tens of 000s of $$$. A very odd get-up for someone representing the Rouge Plant neighborhoods of southwest Detroit.

#7 It's a wonderful time for a Bingle
To play Lady B. or Ms. Kringle,
Assistant to Santa
In Yankee Atlanta,
On customers' dimes -- jingle, jingle!

#8 More on the tragical Mr. Isentrout. If I disappear with the New Year, I died of homesickness... for a city that killed itself just as I was getting to know it.
