Common Sense...Older guys will remember this

[sross]

Gentlemen, we should thumb our noses at both the democrats and republicans for their contributions to the death of our most respected and trusted colleague, Common Sense. In his name we should start a new party, based upon his ideals, teachings and the way he lived. We should name it after him and proceed to contend against all comers in the next election.

Sounded like a good plan until I realised there probably aren't enough people with common sense left to swing the majority of votes to a common sense party.
