An Example of What Is Wrong in Washington

Since 1969 there has been a bipartisan softball league made up of federal employees playing in Washington every Summer. This year there will be two leagues as over the Winter a group of Republican teams accused the league 'commissioner' - if you can believe they would need one - of running a socialist playoff system that gave poor teams an unfair chance to win the playoffs.The Democrat commissioner accused the rebels of promoting class warfare.

These teams are not made up of Senators and Congressmen. They are comprised of their aides, agency employees and other federal hangers-on. I guess it was naive of me to hope that these overly partisan Senators and Congressmen would hire mature adults.
