"All of us want to know -- just as I want to know -- who is responsible.  And until we do, I must announce the suspendering of the upcoming debate activities, which isn't taking place.  But don't worry.  Don't worry.  You food, housing and insecurity is guaranteed by your Department of Redundancy Department and the Natural Guard.  Don't move!  Don't take off your shoes!  Jobs is on the way!"

Everybody's got 'em.  Well, not everybody, but I do:  my congressman is the fabulous Mr. John Lewis, but my senators are Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson.  This morning, I wrote Congressman Lewis a fairly long email explaining why I didn't support the bailout as written, and why I hoped he wouldn't, either. 


The Senators?  Well, I know from past experience that they don't particularly care about my opinion.  I wrote them each a brief, polite note reminding them that the Treasury Secretary on whom they're considering bestowing superpowers may well be a Democrat in four months.
