After Which, the Store Will Be Ceremonially Closed When a Home Depot Opens at the Edge of Town
“House Republicans just released a draft of their legislative agenda for the next Congress, a 21-page ‘Pledge to America’ that they will formally unveil Thursday morning at a Virginia hardware store.” [CBS, via Political Wire]

21 pages? That’s about 20 and 9/10 pages too long for the base. Anything that won’t fit on a bumper sticker is too wordy for the 15-20% that wants GWB back in the White House and Tom DeLay in the House.
Such a creative title.
