I read once that Lyndon Johnson used to extract a bi-partisan agreement by locking the elected officials in a meeting room and not letting anyone out to go to the toilet until a decision was made. I assume he provided them with lots of drinking water (and maybe laxative-laden brownies). My solution is a bit old fashioned: I'd surround the Capitol and White House with troops and shoot anyone who tries to leave--and then burn them down.

Sarah Silverman has come up with her plan: The Great Schlepp and it's got a point. I'd just ask all those traveling down to strong arm the grannies in Boca to hop on down to South Beach and pump some money into the economy here.
