There would be a lot of broken TV screens if all of us who wanted to slap Kristol actually tried it.
A couple of weeks ago I suggested that we hook up the talking heads to a shock belt as is used in aversion therapy (think the invisible fence for dogs). Then give us remotes where we can zap them if they say something really stupid. They would either end up quivering puddles on the floor or as a pile of ash, depending on the amps they let us play with.
It would only work with some kind of voting system.
"OK, Kristol. You're over 10,000 negative comments. You get a jolt for being a jerk... ooooooo, Juan, you just passed 65,000. Hang on!"
