 The Capitol Poh-lice don't play.

I don’t know if everybody does this. I imagine most people move on from a place and never feel the need to see it again. That’s never been me. Ever since I got my driver's license, I've had a habit of turning down streets where I used to live. Before long, it grew into something bordering on an obsession. I slow down when I pass them, and for a moment the years disappear. 

  It is difficult to overstate the role seniority and mastery of the congressional committee system has played in keeping federal spending flowing in Mississippi.
