One of those really hot days, our AC upstairs was struggling.  We spend time on the lower level and the only thing on TV during the day is Congressional testimonies.  It's sad.  First thing that hits me is that how old all these Congress people are.  I'm not a spring chicken but these people are old.  The second thing is that it is predictable.  The Committee members are more interested in using their time denoucing each other, rather than asking any meaningful questions of those giving the testimony.  And even when they get around to addressing the "experts", it's always along party lines.  

My impression is we need to vote all of them out.  They've all been there too long, they are petty and hostile.  How can they possibly be acting in the best intesst of their constituents? Jim Jordan needs to take it down a notch - he's become a charicature of himself.  The Black representaives can't seem to get over their own blackness, so everything is about race.  It's discouraging.  And then of course, there are those that won't let the expert answer the question, before they are cut off and dressed down.  

Is this any way to run a government?
