Still an appropriate quote

'I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a disgrace; that two are called a law firm, and that three or more become a Congress! And by God, I have had this Congress!'

I do know of a couple of people who think that they should remove the AC from all congressional and senatorial offices, used to be the Govt broke for summer cause it was too damn hot to legislate for 4 months out of the year....I think they should also remove the heaters, so it can be too damn cold another 4 months out of the year.

Removing the heat would be cruel - but removing the AC would give them a -reason- to get out of DC. Wonderful idea! They refuse to work for most of the summer anyway [ie, give themselves recesses so they can vacation, junket & campaign on our dime].

All things considered, it amazes me that the Congressional approval rate is as -high- as 15%.
