The Bobble Head Party: An Idea Whose Time has Come?

As an American citizen, I've got mixed feelings about the 2008 elections. Although I make an effort to stay informed, and vote regularly, I'm

• Not always impressed by either of the major American political parties
• Frequently underwhelmed by the shenanigans of our leaders on Capitol Hill
• Firmly believe that if a hundred million people really believe in a stupid idea: It's still a stupid idea

Today, after a night punctuated by clean-up in one of the family's bedrooms, and with a cold coming on, I had a thought.

The following political party doesn't exist, but maybe it should.

The Bobble Head party: These people with a simple solution to ending malfeasance and tomfoolery in Washington.

They propose to replace all members of the American Congress, House and Senate, with bobble head dolls: and place a lava lamp on the desk of the Oval Office.

The Bobble Head party's main talking points are that the bobble heads couldn't possibly foul up as much as our leaders can, and would cost much less to maintain.

Under the Bobble Head plan, elections would determine which faces would go on each doll, and what color the lava lamp would be for the next four years.
