Thats why they have aides. Aides do all the reading and provide executive summaries.

It's their job.
Why are you asking a dickwad question? You micromanaged at work or something and have lost the ability to handle task asigned to you without a nanny?


Jerk, don't you know how your own government works?


Keep in mind that those aides are the most powerful force in Washington. They shape the positions of and control the information flow going to your elected representatives. Representatives who we all know to be clueless egotistical blowhards.

Uh yeah, that's comforting.

Some 21-22 year old is responsible for reading & interpreting, and notifying his boss of the important aspects........Meanwhile the vast majority of their mental energy is focused on deciding which clubs they're going to hit or which co-worker they'd like to hook up with.

So I guess the 30-50 year old aides better step up to the plate.

Aides come in all ages and levels of experience.

And which of those people are put in charge of tedious tasks like combing through 2,000 page documents? Likely the youngest, lowest-paid ones.

HOUSTON (Reuters) – A natural gas pipeline exploded in north Texas on Monday afternoon, CNN reported.

The blast was originally thought to be an oil well explosion.

An electrical crew was digging a hole when it struck the gas pipeline, an emergency services spokesman in Hood County, Texas, said.

WFAA-TV, the Dallas/Fort Worth station, reported three people were dead and 10 were unaccounted for after the blast.
