Akkam’s Razor

The Representative's weak argument against a "standard" American workweek and his attempt to substantiate it by saying "Democrats are against families" is what drove the traffic and negative commentary towards the Representative's statement.  I personally blogged with glee after reading his verbal misstep.  Redirecting the argument towards the place of work, allowing Congress to phone-in or telecommute is certainly NOT what the people of America expect.  The 110th Congress is going to be  in session, meeting, which is what the people expect, don't they?  Not home, not fundraising, but in session, doing the peoples' business.

I have a better suggestion. Rather than inviting a Capital Hill pundit to follow the Representative once, on one day, why not participate in the Sunlight Foundation's Punchclock Project, where Representatives pledge to post their public agenda  in a completely transparent manner, so as his constituents (and others who financially support his future candidacies)can get thorough information as to how he spends his time representing the good people of the state of Georgia.  I'm sure they'd love to have him.

It appears my comment requires approval or is in the spam filter. Well, whoever blogs for him didn't approve my comment on the post, although they did let a couple of critical comments fly.
