Government DOES work. Henry Waxman knows this.

"Son, there are two kinds of Congressmen—show horses and work horses. If you want to get your name in the papers, be a show horse. But if you want to gain the respect of your colleagues, don't do it. Be a work horse."

- Joshua Talbott, Congressman from Maryland (1843-1918) to first-term congressman Carl T. Hayden of Arizona.


PS - Carl T. Hayden was bald too.
