Yeah, I know. Otherwise I'd've structured my post as more of an argument, instead of a rant. Or kept my mouth shut entirely. (OK, maybe not entirely. Not sure that's possible.)
Oh, and that NPR link was intended to point out the fact that after the elections, we have two "independent" Senators and _no_ independent Reps in Congress. Two. Out of five hundred thirty-five lawmakers, _two_ have no overt ties to the political machine. I forgot to replace the explanatory sentence after I deleted it.
