Know what we need? "Survivor- DC"
Edited on Thu Mar-22-07 08:57 AM by SoCalDem
Only there would be no clever little puzzles to work or things to snorkle after in the Potomac..

There would be no Immunity Idol..

Contestants (congresspeople/senators..and maybe even the president) would be randomly teamed up, and they would have all access to familial or personal assets.

Their "challenges" would be to :

get a "regular job" (no more than $8.00 an hout)
find a place to live
buy food at regular grocery stores & bodegas
drive a 10 year old car, and pay for repairs
no health care..get sick..do the OTC routine like many people do

The challenge? Do it for a whole year..and there's no getting voted "off the island"..

2. I like it!
You actually outlined my life at this point, with a couple of exceptions--buy groceries at discount stores and salvage stores and garden like mad!

3. Make it south of the Anacostia
Just to add to the challenge, and no fair finding work in VA.

4. Mayor of Chicago Jane Byrne
moved into projects of Cabrini Green for a while, but she still lost the next election to Harold Washington.
