No Pictures, Please

Text to break up the images ... speaking of representation & depiction, if anybody'd like to see any nekkid self(-abuse)ies of this reporter (a celebrity in his own mind) you needn't hack into the cLoud, we'd be happy to post some right here. Just ask.

No, we do not have any beheading selfies. Smartass.

Also too beheading better than blaming in The Case of Cantor & The Revolving Door.

Which brings me to a speculation for which I have no direct evidence. I'll bet that if you looked at what everyone who leaves Congress does, the ones who still have working years ahead of them are far more likely to return home if home is a big city. Just like regular people, former members of Congress are going to find a lot more opportunity in New York or Los Angeles or Houston or Chicago —or, especially, Washington—than they will in the charming, sleepy little burg they spent their career holding up as the beating heart of "real" America.

So people shouldn't feel betrayed when their former representative decides not to return home. If it's a small town, he wasn't the first or the last to move out once his sights got set higher.

Rootless cosmopolitans, every one.

More TIME marching; Is now Mon., Tues.? ... I'll be confused all wk., not that it will matter; if I go on like this I'll have bored myself to death by Thurs. at the latest ...
