24. Offices for House members

Have you ever been in the Capitol Hill office on the House side? The staff, usually about 8-10 people, shares a space the size of a small Manhattan apartment. Desks are shoved together and frequently you have to turn sideways to fit between workstations. There is no way everyone who worked in that office did not see his Nazi flag poster. Reports say he is a Legislative Correspondent, which is the lowly position in the office responsible for writing canned responses to the public and using the AUTO PEN, a device in every office, to sign the missives. He'll be gone by next week, but undoubtedly picked up by a conservative organization that admires his gumption.
