The Empty Chamber–Just how broken is the Senate?

2010-08-04 | Filed Under RichardH's Posts |

In the 9 August 2010 issue of The New Yorker Magazine, George Packer writes a very long, comprehensive, illuminating, and depressing portrait of the current state of the U.S. Senate. The Empty Chamber.

I hope you will take the time to read the whole article.

Please note that some articles in the New Yorker disappear behind a subscriber firewall after as little as one week.  If you intend to read the article but don’t have time right now, I suggest you download it for future, more leisurely perusal.

    It is an important article to read, though thoroughly depressing.

    And you thought my ideas on the benefits of mortality were depressing?

    Now onto the Beast Manifesto.
