Even though they’re not doing anything in a partisan political sense, people get up at 7 in the morning. They add on to our program, they add in at breakfast, they add in after the banquet, what they call caucuses, where individual leagues will say we’re very interested in the topic of health care, energy, global warming, International Criminal Court, ERA, protection of the wetlands off the Louisiana coast. . . .
