“Grab a bucket? To brew some kick-@$$ tea in?”
According to the 2010 calendar, the House and Senate are both in session the week of April 15th....
Be a shame if they couldn’t get anything done with about 5 million confused taxpayers wanting to speak to them...day after day, clogging up the streets and cramming the halls...
In the immortal words of Bob Dylan;
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside
And it is ragin’.
It’ll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’
Can you imagine if a million honest citizens all decided to legally cross (at the crosswalk) every major street in the capital area ? Back and forth, back and forth. If the entrance to the senate and congress office buildings were so jammmed with visitors our elected officials and their staffs couldn’t get near the doors ? If cars stalled in the middle of every major street; only to start again when a cop and tow truck showed up ? If the metro was so jammed no beaurocrat could get near his office building ? And every fifteen minutes on the quarter hour everybody started reciting the pledge of allegance ?
Make your reservations early.
