Bureaucracy at its Finest

Ever wonder what happens to that critical personal or business document awaiting action from the brightest and best that represent our country? Well, most likely it receives attention from the staff of the legislator in question. After visiting my brother in DC this past weekend, I learned more about how those staffers handle the critical documents they receive each day during a tour of the Hart Senate Building. Check this out.



Here is the picture on said staffer's office door:



I've occasionally built up a layer of loose papers on my desk at work, but this much? Seriously? No wonder our country is paralyzed by bureaucracy.

I could have had an awesome tour of government if it were not the weekend. As a staffer, my brother has special access to the capitol building, especially on weekdays when Congress is not in session. Next time I visit, I'll make a point to be in town on one of these days so that I can go on the floor of the House and Senate and ride the secret underground tram from the Capitol Building to the Senate offices.

Now if only I could convince my brother that Republicans are evil... Well, not all Reupblicans, just the current president and his minions.
