Slightly тАж well, quite a bit тАж off topic, but your invocation of Hastert brings to mind one of the pivotal points that have led us to where our politics find themselves today: the so-called тАЬHastert RuleтАЭ.

When he was Speaker of the House, the only legislation he would bring to the floor was the one that could pass with only Republican support. If any Democrats signed on, that was a bonus but otherwise irrelevant to his calculations. Since then, his innovation has been followed by both sides to the detriment of seeking his-partisan solutions and compromises to our many problems.

If only both parties would reject the тАЬHastert RuleтАЭ, I suspect the electorate overall would be happier. After all, our Congress should be trying to address and solve our bread and butter issues without checking their Twitter accounts.

Anyway, thatтАЩs my thought for the day.
