I think you'll like Like the Dew.

If we start to hold out elected officials to a higher standard, then we will start to get better government.
From your vantage point those all count as softballs, I guess.
I worked and lived in DC for many years before moving here and I can easily recognize political BS.

Also, "Capitol" is a name for a government's primary building, derived from Capitoline Hill in Rome. It refers exclusively to the United States Capitol, the building where the Congress meets, and to buildings that serve similar purposes in the various states and, in theory, other countries. In reference to a city constituting a seat of government, an economic resource, or any other use of the word, "capital" has an "a". Capital. Capitol.
