Lol. I envy the line about McConnell’s nap. Plus, maybe we should have ragged him about Viagra. Isn’t there some sort of historical/political connection between the line: ‘this will not stand’, and Viagra?

Or am I confusing G. H. W. Bush w Dole?

Good job!

Concurring bump.

A former congressional aide once told a group of listeners (including me) always write in your own hand, longhand (manuscript or holographic document) on heavy bond. Staffers sometimes weigh incoming mail on a hot issue as a proxy for counting letters pro and con.

See why e-mail counts for ever so much less?

Oh, and never use company letterhead -- it signals that you had an underling write the letter, which detracts from its significance.

The only address you need is "Senator X of [State], THE CONGRESS, Washington, DC." The Post Office has never lost the Congress in over 200 years; your letter will get through, and jiffy-quick.
