Couple chuckles

As I avoid another formal model of legislative behavior, I share two items that gave me a chuckle today.

First, a cartoon

And from AJ’s copassenger this week, a quote (not from the airplane ride)

Football incorporates the two worst elements of American society: violence punctuated by committee meetings.

Lee Sigelman put it a little better I think (where I found the quote).

In discussing how football has overtaken baseball in popularity, he characterized it this way:

Moreover, I think George Will got it exactly right when he proclaimed football a perfect reflection of how we now organize our society: three seconds of action followed by a thirty-second committee meeting.

Okay.  Back to models I barely follow.
