Mere MORTALS Within The D.C.

Beltway

By Ann E. Osborn, October 31, 2013 at 10:28 A.M. Eastern Time, from atop The Dairy, Richmond, Virginia, USA, Planet Earth, a Thursday There come times when we require REMINDERS, in a visceral way, of our common human condition. Those reminders are VERY effective and efficientit may be Old School, but for those who have forgotten and the younger pups who need un-spoiling, a worthy lesson of reorientation to their mortal status. The Pompous orations will be shorter and more to the point. Legislative logjams will be less. The glib ease of BS flow will be evaporative. The assistance of aides, assistants, and lobbyists, and even visitors will be more focused on power points. Last evening, I suggested that Capitol Hill cafeteria be closed, as well as the executive dining room facilities, the removal of coffee kiosks, soda/snack machines, hot plates, microwaves, refrigerators, and bottled water. Yes, the liquor cabinets too. That ALL sources of nutrients be removed within a 10-block radius of Capitol Hill, with compensation for their downtime. That there be checkpoints, with no exceptions, for contraband FOOD SUPPLY in all backpacks, briefcases, and purses. This will be a RAT control operation. No FOOD delivery service will be permitted. Be sure to have any medications registered in the public domain. It will bring to the FOREFRONT the meaning of the sacrifices of public service and leadership. In addition, audio service to the public will be enhanced for any conversations held within the House and Senate chambers, as well as cloakrooms. This is for transparency. ALL use of hearing rooms on Capitol Hill grounds will be officially posted on the Internet in an effort to reduce the number of false hearing productions/reproductions that have been appearing in the public domain.

**********( IF these efforts do not bring satisfactory results for LEADERSHIP, then one goes to the removal of ALL toilet paper and paper towels in ALL relieving facilities on Capitol Hill. It saves TREES, the filters of man-made stink and pollution. THEN remove the soap. It will make stars think more than twice about shaking hands on deal making. Next step would be the WATER supply to Capitol Hill. All those pipes in the underground hallways/tunnels need replacing anyway. NEXT would be the elevators. Many on Capitol Hill need to know the usefulness of stairways for ascenders. NEXT, keeping in touch the old-fashioned way: the banning of cell phones and ear devices (other than hearing aids). It makes it CLEAR about who is giving and taking orders. NEXT, saving on the POWER bills, the heating and air conditioning, including window units. Fans will do and sweaters. Doing The Peoples Business by candlelight is ALWAYS a viable OPTION. FINALLY, proper identification and certification must be ascertained PRIOR to ANY votes and must be validated to a medical certainty because there are TOO MANY lookalikes on Capitol Hill. This would go a LONG way to ensuring The People are being SERVED, not being abused by human error of misidentification or electronic device diversions. SITTING in the HOT SEAT of public service should NOT be a comfy position of POWER. Oui, a HEAT Exchange and being CLEAR about DIFFERENT walls. AEO
