Living and breathing in the Second City
Did you know Congressional staff salaries are available online. Me neither. But for kicks I downloaded Dick Durbin’s staff. Hmmmm. I wonder why he needs so many people. Don’t get me wrong I think Senators need staff. But 64 people in one year? wow. But I guess I can’t complain too much, Barack Obama had 69 different people working for him in 2007.
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
