Ok, so I know it's not even remotely as gravitas as what B-Square just wrote. And BB knows I love him.
But I thought this was really funny.
There's just something so DC about hiring homeless people to stand in line for you because you're too important to do it, but not too important to get VIP access. I mean, I know everyone does it, but the fact that you can just sign up someone to freeze their ass off for 48 hours at the Supreme Court via an XML interface just so you don't have to really kinda illustrates that whole John Edwards "Two Americas" thing somehow.
God Bless America.

The next business to create is a fake line-standers to camp out for hearings to create the illusion that something interesting is going on to lure the press there. It sounds crazy, but were I still working in Congress, it's an idea I'd have been afraid to utter out loud for fear of someone overhearing and implementing it.
I'm sure that these guys would do it for the right price.
My favorite is the shot of Ted Koppel standing next his placeholder, who looks for all the world like a homeless dude in a ski jacket. Koppel's forced smile is priceless.
I think his placeholder is laughing at him.
