an even better solution

 As practical and as easily implemented as Beagles' plan is, it contains a fatal flaw, particularly in the notion of shutting down the internet for two weeks to a month.  How then will The Beaglestonian be delivered to its vast audience?  And without that forum of reasonable discussion among reasonable people, will not our public be without guidance, lost, confused, strangers in a strange land, on a darkling plain where ignorant armies clash by night?

No, no, such a thing cannot be envisioned.  I have a much simpler and satisfying plan.  As we look across the waving fields of grain we find only one political party that favors this action, and that, of course is the Republican party with Rand and Ted and the Dear Leader singing its praises all day long into the night, and not even stalwart Moscow Mitch making a peep against it, I think we should just eliminate the current day Republican party, send them off somewhere so that they can imbibe of the immigrant experience which seems to obsess them so.

But wait, late yesterday afternoon as I was not watching the superbowl our neighbors to the north began clearing off the Ambassador Bridge, and now apparently the whole thing is over.  Geez, just like that,  No disruption of said superbowl, no convoy headed for DC, no nothing, not even any hot air from Rand or Ted or Dear Leader.  Geez, if just the first time one of those truck nuts parked his truck in the middle of the thoroughfare, the local constabulary had told him, Excuse me, you are not allowed to park there, and then maybe a meaningful glance down at his night stick with all those notches in it, and this whole thing would have been as dust in the wind.

Well then Gentleman, outside of all those Russian troops on the border of Ukraine, we appear to have not much to worry about and we can open those bagfuls of valentines in peace.  And feb, the longest little month in the calendar is half over.

And speaking of reasonable discussion I have to wonder if any of the dawgs have googled truck nuts and if they would like to say anything about it.
