I've joked about this before, but maybe it's time to think about bringing back the (really) old Democratic idea of "sortition," or choosing elected officials by some kind of lottery.

I've joked about this before, but maybe it's time to think about bringing back the (really) old Democratic idea of "sortition," or choosing elected officials by some kind of lottery. The idea being that maybe the best candidate is someone who doesn't actually want the job. Considering how many people now in Congress who don't seem to have two brain cells to rub together, maybe it's not such a bad idea? <ducks>
