Just a very short post today, as I had graduation events at my high school throughout the morning and needed to leave a bit early. Incidentally, as in all jobs, the office staff are very supportive of a few absences if you communicate early and often with them. They understand commitments such as my high school graduation and have excused me to attend them.
While a shortened day for me, it was not a slow one. There was plenty of constituent activity and Congress was in a rare, Friday session. All of this put together made the pace of the day very fast.

Burdett Loomis, the Congressional scholar at KU calls members of Congress "political entrepreneurs."
Give this some thought as you observe the members of the House at work.......
