Pros And Cons Of
                Replacing Congress With AI 
                by George Beckerman 
                PROS 
                50 Senators, 435 Reps and all tv analysts with
                touchscreen election maps will have to find real
                jobs. 
                Dress code, ethics code and adult behavior code
                will now be unnecessary. 
                No more perks for jerks. 
                AI cant be bribed by lobbyists. 
                Neither Congress nor AI have spines, so thats
                a wash. 
                Filibuster will join Blockbuster as obsolete. 
                Siri will answer all media questions. 
                Boring grandstanding speeches can be replaced
                with dialogue plagiarized from Mr. Smith
                Goes To Washington and My Cousin
                Vinny. 
                Gridlock will go back to being only a driving
                problem. 
                Gerrymander this. 
                The Capitol Building can be subdivided into
                condos. 
                Its difficult for computer code to
                overthrow the government. 
                In D.C., the smell of bullshit will be replaced
                by clean air. 
                The Supreme Court will be shaking in its robes. 
                  
                  
                CONS 
                There are no cons.
