One Way Congress Could Be Useful...

Tina and I just finished playing one of our favorite games.  If you haven't tried "Ticket To Ride: Europe", you should.  We have a lot of fun and it's fairly easy to catch on to.  That's good if your mind works like mine.

As I was putting the game up in our front closet I had to confront the leaning tower of Pisa.  Every game's box is a different size!

And then it came to me!  If Congress were to consider and pass a bill creating standard dimensions for game boxes it would be great.  It's a law that would actually benefit everyone in America by reducing the cluttered look of game closets. 

It's a law that would not harm anyone.  In fact it could "create or save" (to use the blurry rhetoric of the most transparent administration in history) thousands of jobs as higher paid packaging designers are retrained to lower paying graphic arts work.  Kind of like the "Green Economy" where oil field workers are trained to assemble solar arrays and such. 

And it's a bill that would keep Congress busy so they couldn't screw up anything else in the country.

I'm calling my representative, Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ), on Monday morning!
