” Isn’t there some sort of historical/political connection between the line: ‘this will not stand’, and Viagra?”
LOL!
Hmmm ... how about this?
Public law: The Senate must spend the first year of each Congress doing nothing but writing repealers of extant, aged-out, overgrown, or just plain silly legislation from earlier Congresses.
How's that sound?
A better descriptor for them would be "most worthless Congress in history."
Concurring bump.
A former congressional aide once told a group of listeners (including me) always write in your own hand, longhand (manuscript or holographic document) on heavy bond. Staffers sometimes weigh incoming mail on a hot issue as a proxy for counting letters pro and con.
See why e-mail counts for ever so much less?
Oh, and never use company letterhead -- it signals that you had an underling write the letter, which detracts from its significance.
The only address you need is "Senator X of [State], THE CONGRESS, Washington, DC." The Post Office has never lost the Congress in over 200 years; your letter will get through, and jiffy-quick.
“Democrat-controlled Senate laziest in 20 years”
Why is that bad?
Well because we have to pay them
I t is cheaper to pay them than to pay for the follies they foist on us. Consider their salaries as protection money.
“On the passage of public laws, arguably its most important job, the Senate notched just 90”
That’s 90 too many.
