While the report of the FBI agent shooting Lobsters is funny, the story below that one about politics worries me.
Quote:
Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.), then majority leader, popped in to talk to Hastert about funding for the F-22 fighter plane. After a few minutes, Coburn weighed in again to urge fiscal restraint.
"After I finished my speech," Coburn writes, "Lott looked at me, rested his chin on his hand, and said in his Mississippi baritone drawl: 'Well, I've got an election coming up in 2000. After that we can have good government.' "
