A great idea from an old, old friend of mine:

Members of Congress should be compelled to wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers, so we can identify their corporate sponsors.

2. In DC it's called the "NASCAR" reform. Good idea.
Folks really talked about it in reference to all the subsidies Archer Daniels Midland and Dwayne Andreas got from Congress.

It was called Archer Dole Midland for Bob Dole.

10. Perfect!
Most of them would probably be covered from head to toe in logo patches.

14. They should be drug tested as well


If they're going to vote on drug policy, we should know which drugs they are on...

15. That must be a meme everywhere
I said that about 4 years ago, but I'm quite sure many have been thinking the same thing for a long time.
