Commentary: End Corruption with Kick to Nuts

Deeply embedded in the bowels of Washington, U.I. political strategist and historian #1183 has found a solution to corruption in American politics--a good, old-fashioned nut kicking.

It's an age-old strategy that dates back to turn of the first century when tribal Scotsmen would test a man's integrity by his willingness to submit to a punt to the chumblies. The Scottish Lie Detector, as it came to be know, ensured that any man who stood up to be a clan leader did so with the most pure of intentions, or with testicles made of granite.

A special U.I. advisory committee to all governing bodies has recommended that any man or woman who seeks elected office must submit to a boot to the boys from voters at the end of their term. (In the case of women, purple nurples may be substituted.) Citizens, of course, have the option to kick as gently or as hard as they like, depending on their satisfaction with the official, which will dramatically shift the idea of earned political capital.
