Democratic U.S. Reps. Brad Miller and David Price say they don’t want to face angry voters while home during the August recess, so they’re going to hold “tele-town halls” instead. With tele-town halls, the skittish congressmen will be able to control who gets to talk, and keep any pesky anti-Obamacare protesters at arm’s length.

If Price and Miller want a really soft and comfy experience while home during August, might I suggest that instead of “tele-town halls” they hold some “Teletubbies town halls.” According to Wikipedia, Teletubbies “speak in a gurgling baby language” that might be sufficiently unthreatening to these two lawmakers.
