Join My New Political Party
April 01, 2010
By Joel Engle
It is a new political party. Here are the fundamentals of my ideology.
- All corporations that receive our bailout money should pay us back with 20% interest in CASH and give every American home a set of Ginsu knives. Those things are really cool.
- To run for office, you should have an IQ of at least 90. Of course, this would eliminate many of our elected leaders, but I think that would be very cool.
- Coke Zero should be our national drink.
- Chipotle should be our national burrito.
- Democrats and Republicans should play flag football to determine who runs the majority. If the game ends in a tie, then Englicanists should take over control.
- Rush Limbaugh and Keith Olberman should have to live together on a deserted island for four years.
- Bill O'Reilly and Bill Maher should fight in a cage match and the loser moves to Iceland for four years. Bye-bye, Bill.
- We need a National Johnny Cash Day on February 26th! Everybody wears black and has to sing "I've Been Everywhere" at noon.
- Barney Frank should be exiled to Yemen immediately.
- Every working American should get a stimulus package gift card to Uncle Julio's.
- It should be illegal for any celebrity to comment on politics.
- We should immediately deploy Chuck Norris to go find Osama Bin Laden.
- Paris Hilton, Brittany Spears and Lindsey Lohan should be drafted into the Marines for six years and stationed in Liberia.
- I think TobyMac should be Secretary of Jam.
- I think that true health care reform starts with everybody using Purel hand sanitizer at least six times a day!
Right now that is all I have, but I do think this is a platform that I could run on.
To catch a more "serious" side of Joel, look for his new book "The Father I Never Had" slated to be released in Spring 2010.
