Senate Boxing

Scott Adams (creator of the Dilbert comic) has a blog that is on my daily read list for several reasons, including the wicked sense of humor you’d expect from the guy who gave us Dilbert, Dogbert, Alice, and the pointy-haired boss. For example, today he posted about his ideal form of government, and the closest example on earth: Taiwan’s raucous democracy. Scott likes the fights in the legislature, and imagines the equivalent in the U.S.:

Pause to consider how much you would pay to see Nancy Pelosi kick Dick Cheney in the nuts on national television. I’ll bet it’s a big number. Imagine that after she delivers the kick, Trent Lott flings a wing tipped shoe at the back of her head and knocks her off the dais. Now how much would you pay? Personally, I’m in triple digits already and the imaginary brawl has barely started. Can it get any better?

Oh, yes it can — go read the whole thing!

And yes, Scott, I would most definitely buy a season ticket every year!
