Unbelievable.

The Bush legacy includes 9-11, the Katrina aftermath, torture,
secret energy policies, Halliburton, signing statements, Gonzales,
no WMDs, Blackwater, 4,000 US troops dead, tens of thousands seriously
wounded or ill, recession, housing meltdown, 40 million without health
insurance, incredible national debt.

You're worried about the food in the cafeteria?

Yeah, what in hell were they thinking, getting rid of the chemical
laced processed foods, giving them fresh fruit instead of horse-hoof
jello, and decent seafood?

I suspect you may not have read the entire article as carefully as you
normally would do.

House members *pay* for their own lunches. This isn't a public
expense. Furthermore, (from the article itself):

"House officials explained that the fresher and more varied foods were
indeed more expensive but that they had tried to preserve low-cost
alternatives such as pizza, sandwiches and prepared salads, which
remain around the same price."

So any Democrat or Republican House members who think that a 1000
calorie slice of pepperoni, fat and cheese and a 700 calorie glass of
fizzing sugar water (combo priced at $4.50) is a better idea at lunch
time than the seasonal veggie plate and a serving of fresh-squeezed
juice (at $5.75) are still in business.

I'm not sure how offering greater opportunity for personal choice
represents a "loss of touch" with America. To me, a loss of touch with
America would be: "On the menu today is split pea soup. Your choices
are small, medium, or large portions of split pea soup. You will eat
it. You will like it. Any complaints about the split pea soup will be
heard in the 'free speech zone', eight blocks from the
cafeteria." :-)

Well, at least Pelosi can claim she got *something* on her agenda
accomplished.

The food in the house dining room was better when Tip was Speaker.

You raise some good points.

It just annoys me that legislators get subsidized healthy food while
the average schmuck on lunch break get's over priced Burger King.

LOL!!

10-4.

Tip did it well, but I thought Newt was a tad bit better.

The Bush legacy includes 9-11, the Katrina aftermath, torture,

And not one successful attack on the US by Followers of Islam.

The question is why is Nancey Pelosi worried about the food in the
cafeteria? I guess that is the only thing she can get accomplished as
Speaker of the House.
