Sunday Evening Post

First, a political quote from Trent Lott. It is from a CNN article about a recent amendment to ban all gifts from lobbyists, including meals.

Sen. Trent Lott, R-Mississippi, chairman of the Rules Committee and one of the authors of the base bill along with Dodd, went along with the amendment but warned it could cause unintended problems every time a lawmaker or staff attended a reception where food was available.

"It's totally ludicrous that we are doing this," he said. "I'll be eating with my wife and so will a lot more senators after we pass this one."

I read it wrong the first time, and it made him seem like he was disappointed that he needed to spend time with his wife. Well, maybe I read it wrong...

Now for an update on my car...it overheated Friday night, and now I need a new radiator :(
