Would be awesome if they were. That would probably save the country like $25B a day or something.
- jodrellblank 15y agoNo, but I expect more than 1 person is there, otherwise he would just come in from a holiday and say "I spent 11 days reading a million names alone in my office" and nobody would know any different.
- marshray 15y agoI remember years ago on CSPAN they were videoing the House of Representatives. There was some Rep at the podium delivering this impassioned speech like he was about to start pounding his shoe or something. For one reason or another, the Speaker of the House decides he's had enough. He interrupts the Rep, starts shouting at the CSPAN cameraman, and orders him to turn the camera around. The camera pans the room ... it's almost totally empty. The Rep is just preaching for the camera.
