| Larry Miller: What a Noble Congress! |

| HILARIOUS--well worth a read. ...WHAT STARTED THIS bouncing around in my head was the headline in the Los Angeles Times, last Saturday: "House Takes Stand Against Troop Buildup." And I thought, "Really? That's what they're taking? A stand? Is that what this is? A principled stand? This . . . non-binding thing, whatever it is? That's my favorite new phrase in politics: non-binding. What does it even mean? Do you realize that, outside of Washington, D.C., nothing in life is "non-binding"? "I had twelve drinks last night, but they were non-binding." Then I guess there's no headache. Lucky you. "I slept with a waitress from the Airport Marriott in Hartford, but she and I both agreed it was non-binding." Good luck with that, and let me know if that rash is non-binding, too. You get the point. A resolution expressing disapproval? "Expressing"? Metamucil is more binding than this thing. |
