      Oh, the qurstion was rhetorical – the function was a relevancy check. The Hill may think all of those names are important but only half are making it out of the political wonkosphere.

      (wonk is an mid 20th century word for nerd)

            Comedians have been using the written word for eons. Some jokes don’t land when written, and the real solution wasn’t invented this decade.

            My personal policy is that if the joke needs a laugh track, a rimshot, or any big sign that says “Joke” being waved, the joke doesn’t work.
