Spike,
"In 1978, 50 years after air conditioning was installed in Congress, New York Times columnist Russell Baker noted that, pre-A.C., Congress was forced to adjourn to avoid Washington's torturous summers, and "
the nation enjoyed a respite from the promulgation of more laws, the depredations of lobbyists, the hatching of new schemes for Federal expansion and, of course, the cost of maintaining a government running at full blast."
The global warming cult is after air conditioning. Air conditioning is wasteful and hazardous to Mother Earth. Where to pull the plug first?
One of the first to be air conditioned is truly first in war, peace and waste. Pull the plug on Congress. The premise in the article of more open government as a result is dubious.
Has anybody seen our Congressman holding an open questions from the floor, town hall meeting lately? Teleconference radio shows do not count.
Congress is due for a long recess soon. We will see if our Congressman is willing to answer for the wasteful government expansion like Obama Care he voted for.
Leave the brick bats at home. Let your questions make Loebsack sweat. Hold Dave's feet to the fire.
November's chill will make Loebsack and other waste makers catch a terminal case of reality.
