Speaking of bananas.................
I'd really like to see the Democrats to something rather radical to show us they at least understand what is going down in this country and to let the rest of the world know that this administration is a farce.

Here's what I suggest.

Until we get to have the legislation calling for all federal elections to have voter verified paper ballots as the 1st order of business to pass in Congress, all Senators and Representitives should:

(1) Wear white T-shirts with a big yellow banana on the front. On the back, print in big black letters: United Banana Republican States of America. If possible, Democrats should learn to juggle banana's so we can be entertained while watching C-Span.

(2) Refuse to continue the charade by participating on broadcast media news shows....unless they can juggle banana's while discussing the Republican man date because of family values.

Really, isn't it time that Democrats stop playing along and show us and the world the true contempt we have for the buffoons who are running the zoo?

1. The democrats should offer this amendment to every bill starting now
The Fair election petition:
In the interests of fair elections we demand the following standards be instituted immediately for all electronic Ballot boxes and vote counting machines.

All programming instructions shall be written in open source code. That code shall at all times be available for public inspection and pass independent third party certification for accuracy and reliability. After that certification the code and all hardware shall be secured no changes shall be allowed to the code or the hardware after certification.
The vote shall only be counted after a voter verified paper record of the vote has been created and retained.

All vote records and counts shall be transferred by verifiable physical means. Any CD DVD TAPE or other transfer medium shall be labeled with the counts and a date time stamp. All records and counts shall be reviewed and verified for validity and accuracy.

No modems internet connections or telephone connections will be allowed at any stage of the vote counting process.

If banana's are too monkey oriented, we could switch to Coconuts.....easier to juggle, too.
