Must be pretty nice to be a member of Congress. You get a fancy health care plan, free mail to constituents, can travel a lot, and probably get a cushy, high-paying job when you leave. But wait, there’s more!

Overheard of the Week

Father and his young son having lunch at the Tune Inn:

Son: “Where did you get those bricks you used out front?”
Father: “I found them in Congressional Cemetery.”
Son: “Mom was mad. She said it didn’t look good for a Congressman to be stealing bricks from a cemetery.”

After the jump, bars, tourists, and borders.
