[Congressman Billybob]

I've been to Concord twice, to testify before the New Hampshire House. Flew there once in January on a twin Beach, in a snowstorm. That, in an of itself, was a memorable experience.

Concord a beaufiful town. The Capitol is charming -- old clocks, ladderback chairs, Shaker-style simplicity. And the Committee members stayed there until everyone who wanted to testify, had testified. It was a rare and refreshing experience.

But then, while I was there, I never met any of the reporters or editors of the Concord Monitor and saw how black and twisted their souls are. I receommend Concord for a visit by anyone. It's the smallest town in America which is a state capitol. Just stay away from the folks at the Monitor. They would spoil your visit.

New column: "The Truman Factor."

Reform efforts are under way, but at least one major flaw in the system should be repaired by Congress before another national election is held.

He's right about that one. Everybody needs to bring their BIRTH CERTIFICATES with them when they come to vote.
