Yesterday, Bob Caton, spokesman for the Pennsylvania House Democrats, and Steve Miskin, spokesman for the House Republican, engaged in a Twitter argument over which caucus’ TV shows were more unrealistic, i.e., the House Democrats’ or House Republicans’.

This display of polemics raises another, more important, point (though one they both missed): Why are taxpayers funding four TV studios – one of each caucus – in the basement of the Capitol?

Side Note: The idea that Star Wars isn’t real should never be discussed on the Internet. You might as well go around to kindergarten classes and tell them that Santa hates little kids.
