After I wrote yesterday's post, I got this mental image in my head, and couldn't shake it. So I propose we require all persons running for public office to wear the name and/or logo of anyone who donated more than $5 to their campaign.

I think it would have been nice to have seen the Merck logo on Rick Perry's lapel when he announced every school girl in Texas would have to get the HPV vaccine at $325 a pop. That's a pretty nice return on Merck's $6000 investment in his campaign, don't you think?

At least this way we would know that we have the finest elected officials that money can buy.
