Q: What does a Congressional staffer do exactly?

A: They watch soccer videos at all hours of the night while they wait for their boss to vote on the motion to recommit with instructions...



Seriously, is it too late for me to be a professional soccer player?
We Americans do not have the passion for soccer that they have in other countries. I had a meeting the other day with a guy who was thinking of adopting children. He said he wanted to adopt from Brazil, Argentina, or Nigeria. He said he would like to adopt from Italy - but there isn't much adoption which comes out of Italy. We chuckled a bit, but they I realized he was totally serious. I didn't think so at first, but then he looked at me with eyes that seems to say,'what, there's a problem with adopting a world class soccer team?!' He was serious.

I am officially getting on the futbol train. Go D.C. United!!!
