I am totally in sync with Diane Pazourek’s letter about our aging politicians (“Congress needs new blood,” July 17).

Our temple of liberty is full of cobwebs, and we need term limits in Congress like we have in the White House — just two terms of four years. After serving, lawmakers can go back to their other skilled jobs, but the trouble is, they have no other skills and hot air is not very much in demand, especially in the summer.

I don’t think their families want them home either, because they do not make good pets… used car salesmen, perhaps!

In general, politicians and diapers should be changed often and for the same reason.
