As a way to solve the national debt crisis, North Carolina Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue recommends suspending congressional elections for the next couple of years.
“I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won’t hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover,” Perdue said at a rotary club event in Cary, North Carolina, according to the Raleigh News & Observer. “I really hope that someone can agree with me on that.”

"Perdue’s press secretary, Chris Mackey, claims the Governor was joking when she made the comment."Quick retraction... They must be getting an earful.

This is why the Founding Fathers, in their wisdom, gave us the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

You know...wasn’t there some German dude from the 1930s who did the same thing? The name escapes me. Some funny looking guy with a dopey mustache...
