Have you ever met a meth-addled backyard mechanic?

"Yeah, dude, I'll turbocharge your Saturn for you, dude. $300, man, that's all. [...wait for the shuddering to stop...] I'm a little jittery because I've been up for the past five days trying to fix an electrical short in my Camaro... I think I got it figured out... I don't usually work on Saturns, dude, but it should work out OK. Just $300, man."

Meanwhile:

...Rumors are swirling all around that a compromise could be reached between the Republicans and Democrats, if some of the Republicans would help to amend the Constitution allowing former or current presidents to run for a third term, in exchange for amending the Constitution so Gov. Schwarzenegger of California, who is not a natural born citizen of the United States, can run for president, if he so desires...

Yes, but how would Arnold have a chance to serve as president? Wouldn't three-term presidents reduce the need to, for instance, start cloning Bush family members?

Ah, I hear you saying. The solution: we add a co-president office, or perhaps a King/Prime Minister-style arrangement. "The Prime Ministerator." Interesting...

I know I stole the "backyard mechanic who thinks he can turbocharge your car" bit from someone, but, since I forget who I can't attribute it. Maybe Phil Hendrie. On the other hand, I have known people like that.
