I just spent the last 5 minutes watching CSPAN, as reps from Ohio and California went about the nation's business by discussing a resolution congratulating the Kenyon College men's swimming and diving team on their most recent national title. I know this sort of stuff happens regularly, but you can't appreciate its surreal quality until you watch it live.

Adding to the feeling was that the California rep actually said something along the lines of "I yield myself as much time as I may consume." I don't know what I like better - the self-yielding or the idea that she eats time.
