Some random grouching - A suggestion

[Anser]

So, that roses for Helen thing was interesting. Maybe not 10+ posts on the greatest page interesting, but nice nonetheless.

But more roses? Let's not. I've noticed that people seem to be bringing up a "roses drive" for pretty much anyone we like that has any amount of fame. Don't get me wrong, most of the ones I've seen, have been proposed for people I admire. But I have a suggestion.

How about we wait til after the 2006 elections before we blow all our money on pretty flowers. Flowers tend to wilt after a max of a couple weeks, a Senate seat lasts 6 years. Or, as a compromise, if 6 years is just looking too far ahead how about a House seats? Only a two year commitment there.
