“As you can plainly see, the dress code today is tie or open collar with a sport coat. Mister Miller has chosen to deviate from that code.”

I can picture the Greg Bishop post now:
“Rich Miller, half-asleep, is taking incomplete notes on Speaker Madigan’s non-budget demands. Included in his notes are the words education, comp, and items.”

No, I don’t know how Mr. Miller can be asleep and still stand without swaying around.
Comment by Huh? Monday, Jun 26, 17 @ 10:10 am
