What's so pathetic is that, if we turned Congress loose in these kitchens, we still wouldn't have a sandwich.

It really is amazing to stop and think of millions of people, doing these millions of jobs.

Linda -- If Congress adjourned to the kitchen to create a sandwich, they would do a very good job of it. You really should give them more credit. Of course, it would be a shit sandwich, and the bread would be moldy, and instead of honey-roasted ham there would be a flesh-colored hunk of Spam, and the onions would be freeze-dried flakes and the ketchup made by Shurfine rather than Heinz.

But yeah, all those millions of people making America what it is. Too bad Congress couldn't follow their lead and do something worthwhile.
