I want to have lunch with Gail Collins

Did the founders want it to be this difficult? In other words, is the way Washington works a bug or a feature? I have to wonder after reading Gail Collins' latest column.

On another not necessarily related but who knows note, I am sitting on my balcony, it is in the neighborhood of 82 degrees, and I'm thinking of Andrew Holleran who once wrote the story of my life.
