There's an interesting proposal [1] afloat regarding the latest bit of GOP pandering, the "$100 gas rebate check":

If the hundred dollar checks are indeed disbursed pursuant to an Act of Congress approved by the President, all who are opposed to the Republicans pledge as follows: Upon receiving the check for the sum of One Hundred dollars ($100.00), I shall immediately sign the back of the draft and send it to the non-Republican political party or candidate of my choice.

A good idea, but one that can be improved with just a bit of focus. Inasmuch as the rebate scheme is the brainchild of desperate incumbent Senator Jim Talent of Missouri, I humbly suggest that everyone donate their $100 check to Talent's opposition in the coming election, Claire McCaskill [2].

A sound proposal, indeed. How about it?
