It's 9:30 at night. Do you know where your congressman is?
Mine is three thousand miles away from his office, preparing to keynote a "legislative update" meeting. These "updates" are about what happened in the last session of the state legislature, not the national one...although in the case of the national one the report wouldn't take that long: "we renamed 42 post offices and tried to repeal Obamacare thirteen times."
