It's easy to come across a story like this while you're just noodling around and not notice the date. I've often wondered why websites like CNN or MSNBC have links at the bottom of a current news article to an old story--I've had some moments that way until I catch the date.

But DeFazio is a crown jewel in Congress, very proud to call him my Rep.

Much as I wish Peter was my rep, not sure I would want to live among the residents in District 4 who seem to find Art appealing. They would make me very-very nervous!

Best wishes to Peter. He has my support!
