I swear that our elected representatives should start blogging or something. Obviously they are prolific writers, and have staffers that have nothing better to do. Our most recent notable release by the Ministry of Dense Verbage Generation (the US legislature) is, of course, the 9-11 Report, brought to you by The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, your tax dollars, and the letter “F”. Here’s a little teaser to get your juices flowing:
We present the narrative of this report and the recommendations that flow from it to the President of the United States, the United States Congress, and the American people for their consideration. Ten Commissioners, five Republicans and five Democrats chosen by elected leaders from our nation’s capital at a time of great partisan division, have come together to present this report without dissent.
We have come together with a unity of purpose because our nation demands it. September 11, 2001,was a day of unprecedented shock and suffering in the history of the United States.The nation was unprepared. How did this happen, and how can we avoid such tragedy again?
