I had a thought about an American History parlor game that would be entertaining and educational, titled 'Name That Asshole.' For example, "who, after stealing a presidential election and being sworn in with a negative mandate, used a national tragedy to cut taxes on the rich and try to enact a laundry list of partisan policies?" That was an easy one. Presidents are so highly publicized. Okay. Onwards and downwards.
"What representative, after Obamacare was passed fairly, sabotaged it by defunding the risk corridor?" Or, "who was most responsible for what provision that made it unnecessarily hard for the Post Office to stay solvent and why would they do that?" Or, "what tag team couple, only one of which was an elected official, was most closely associated with deregulatory policies that caused the '08 economic calamity?"
