Project "Balls for Congress"

[biermeister]

Every once and a while I have great insight through the muck & mire of my existence. I believe this is one of those times.

I am so tired of reading stories of our elected officials failing to represent us, the people who pay them, properly. It occurred to me that what they lack most is "balls". That's right, they don't have the balls to do their job! Now I could continue to sit here and bum out about it or I could find a way to help them get some "balls". Here is my idea.

I am going to go out tomorrow and buy some balls. 6 to be exact, 2 for each one of my senators and 2 for my rep. They are all men but I would think it would be the same even if some of them were women because I want to be an equal opportunity "ball buster". I am going to mail 2 balls, I'm thinking little jax type balls, or maybe those superballs that we had when we were kids, or maybe even tennis balls, it really doesn't matter, as long as they're balls, to each one of my congressmen. I will not put a note in the box, nor will I use a return address. It's like a secret santa, only the sender will know who sent it.

I an encouraging everyone who reads this post to do the same. Maybe if congress gets enough "balls" they will start doing their job.

1. I have a female senator. What to do?

[biermeister]

3. sent her balls if you think she needs them!

[TechBear_Seattle]

13. The female equivalent is "tits"

And I know a few drag queens who could recommend a nice pair. :hi:

19. Sand? Maybe we should just go Wizard of Oz on everyone

and mail diplomas, watches and medals.

:rofl:

24. Send a spine

A donkey can't kick without one.

[polichick]

2. LOL - well, the phone calls sure ain't working!

[jakem]

4. maybe those nasty truck hitch balls...

[Captain Hilts]

5. Do you compliment black friends by saying "that's awfully white of you!"

That's what giving 'balls' to a female congresscritter would be equivalent to, no matter how honorable your intentions.

[skooooo]

7. oh well..

I think the point that's being made is a little more important than that.

[biermeister]

11. don't read too much into this

case in point- i think nancy pelosi lacks the "balls" to do her job. it's not a man/woman thing. it's like a balls/no balls thing.

send her some balls. she really really needs them!!!!

6. Enough, quite plain and simply, side with the other side.

Therefore, balls will do those no good. They've thrown their lot in with the administration making the ones that are on our side a minority and thus weak.

8. What about those balls that

rednecks hang from their pickup trucks?

[skooooo]

9. Yuck

Do they really do that? I heard they outlawed them in FLorida or something.

[ET Awful]

10. maybe we could avoid all the accusation s of sexism and send each congress critter this:

[Angela Shelley]

17. 10 points for the backbone suggestion!

[Dollface]

12. Mine were both Nay votes. I will send some to someone else's senator.

[biermeister]

14. that's a good point but there are plenty of people

in congress who lack balls.

for whose who feel the same way about their congresspeople, use the spirit of santa and give balls to anyone else you feel may need them. I think most will agree that a lot of balls are needed in dc so give as many balls as you can.

15. Send Neuticles instead

20. Holy cr@p.

:rofl:

[man4allcats]

16. Or you could just send them each

one of these.

18. The British Parliament has Balls already!

Ed Balls is our Education Secretary. (Or as it's now termed: "Secretary for Children, Schools and Families".)

[krispos42]

21. I've got a pair, right here...

Really what we need to do is send a length of 1" surgical stainless steel rod to our Democrats. Their spines apparantly need some reinforcing.

[Lorien]

22. "Spines for congress" would be gender neutral

most of the brave whistle blowers over the past eight years have been women. Hard to call courage a "male" trait.

[rucky]

23. But they don't ship very well.

:shrug:

[JHB]

25. But they have a better slogan...

A donkey has no kick without one.

26. These do:

27. Is this just an odd coincidence?

the "next product" after the spine keychain was this: http://www.branders.com/s/Promotional-Stress-Reliever---Donkey-Squeezie-40447.html

will be a interesting piece on your president's desk!"
