"As discussed yesterday, there are many boring policy reasons why elections matter. There are also aesthetic ones. To wit, this aside on the sudden fits of kissy-face being bestowed upon Howard \"Buck\" McKeon, presumptive chair-to-be of the House Armed Services Committee:\n\nTwo of his former aides -- who now work as military industry lobbyists -- cornered him last month at a Capitol Hill reception held to unveil a portrait of Mr. McKeon, painted to honor his former service as chairman of the House Education and Workforce Committee. (He held that spot for only several months, just before Republicans last lost control of Congress, but he still had a portrait commissioned.)\n\n At least fifteen minutes of searching did not turn up the actual portrait unveiled, and this gives us a sad. Since the portrait apparently took twice as long to produce as McKeon's actual tenure as chair, it must be really good. It probably cures cancer and gives Sarah Palin wings. At least, it's probably better than this, which took us about as long to produce as it will for McKeon to rush through increased funding for unmanned predator drones once he's running the Armed Services Committee:\n\nFacebookPinterest"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
