suckered.

Oh the summer on the Hill. Interns running around with inappropriately short skirts and men trying to figure out the classiest way they can beat the heat since they still have to wear a full suit. In a remarkable demonstration of government brilliance this week, the Capitol planned an ice cream social. At 3:00. Outside. It was 100 degrees. I didn't go because I couldn't think of anything worse than hundreds of young Hill interns running around in the heat wave with melting ice cream.

But, there are wonderful things about the summer. One of which is Capitol Hill Seersucker Thursday. Yup. True story. This exists. For all of you outside the beltway, this is to show that things are getting done in Congress. Anyway, the tradition is not that old. Started by Trent Lott. And, in truth, I really enjoyed it yesterday. Full seersucker suits running around, bow-ties, and a touch of southern. It added some good personality and bipartisan partnership!
