Suddenly I want to be a Congressman

My newfound urge to represent a state in the Senate stems from a recent article in the Washington Post with the title "Congress Has So Little to Do, And So Much Time to Do It" by Dana Milbank. Here is an excerpt:

Consider yesterday's schedule for the people's representatives. Not only did they have to pass H.R. 99, "commending the University of Nebraska-Lincoln volleyball team," but they had to do it immediately after passing H.R. 72, celebrating the achievements of meteorologist Max Mayfield. Then it was on to legislation in support of the African American spiritual, remembering a deceased NASCAR driver, naming a courthouse in Duluth, Minn., and honoring the grandfather of two congressmen.

That left time for a full debate over the day's signal legislative achievement: H.R. 130, congratulating the Indianapolis Colts for winning the Super Bowl."

Wow. That sounds awesome. I present this as evidence that 90% of Congress-people are insane or idiots.
