It has been a big week in the U.S. Senate. Yesterday, the World's Greatest Deliberative Body passed a bill granting voting rights to the District of Columbia. Today, it got hot dog vending machines.
I hit up the newly installed machine in the Hart Senate Office Building
to try out this miracle of modern vending science. Since it was the
machine's first day, a technician from LHD Vending Systems was there buying a few dogs on house (err, House?) for interested
passers-by. No word on whether accepting a $2 dog violates ethics rules
for Senate staff. Beware the wrath of the guardian of integrity, the
two-headed monster known as McCain-Feingold!

It gets juicier*.
