« Have to admit we're getting better all the time | Main | Conflicting thoughts on Libya » Not that we'd actually want them to act on thisLate Friday, shortly before the Senate recessed and its members left town, a group of 64 senators sent a letter to President Obama, seeking some help on fiscal issues. Ezra Klein (via Bennen): In this letter, 64 senators manage to sound like an interest group begging the White House for support rather than a supermajority of the United States Senate -- which is to say, a coalition of men and women who could, on their own, draft and pass the very legislation they're talking about. Which raises the question: Why are they writing this letter rather than the legislation this letter claims to want? I think for now on every Friday night, min, Wanyas and i will write a letter to Bob demanding that he decide what we should order for dinner. But we won't tell him what we want. And we'll complain about it when it arrives. By fnord12 | March 21, 2011, 9:52 AM | Liberal Outrage CommentsThe good news with this suggestion is that I am always happy with where we order from. The bad news is that I can never make a decision about food, so this process will prevent us from ever eating. wait, i thought this was already the current process. |
