Give 'Em An Inch...

Where does the time go? But really, nothing's outraged me too much this past week. Until I came across this article in today's NYT regarding our friends in Congress and the instantaneous loopholes that totally circumvent the new laws meant to curtail lobbyist influence on Capitol Hill. Am I surprised? No. Am I outraged? Yes. But not at Congress. It's what they do. What pisses me off is that it took the press so long to figure this one out. What if the Times had run this story -- at least outlining the possibilities -- before the law was passed? Might have made a difference. Okay, okay - I said might. I can dream can't I?
