Vote The LesserEvil '08

Not sure if you caught the article or not, but there's a great story in the National Review about the Senate cafeteria and its terribly evil food... and let's not forget the insidious ambiance the writer touched on.  Yep, you read correctly: the Senate has a problem with its cafeteria's food.  You'd think we have greater issues at hand in the cafeteria other than the unpleasant food, like senators taking excessively long lunch breaks or the bill they passed to install liquor dispensers next to the soda machines.  But no, the Senate is having a great debate on their cafeteria food.  How useful of time spent.

The gist of the article is this: the Senate cafeteria is slop.  The House cafeteria is not.  We pay $1.3 million a year in our tax-paying dollars to feed our Senators and their "guests." We pay nothing for the House cafeteria.  The Senate cafeteria now despises the House cafeteria.  Both cafeterias will meet on Friday at 2pm for a showdown.  A dual of two fine establishments of different upbringings.  Personally, I think they should be dueling about who's going to fork over the cash money to pay our gas bills, but I suppose they need to eat too.  (Plus, I commute. booyah.)

So I have a question: what really is the "lesser evil" here?  To privatize our Senators' cafeteria and allocate that $1.3 mil elsewhere (insert your idea here)?  Or to continue to subsidize and feed our cafeteria-ravenous senators?  Come on here, it's a cafeteria!  But like they say... everyone's gotta eat.
