Waxman & Conyers Must One HELLUVA Group Of Staffers
Sometimes it seems like just a small number of Congresscritters do all the heavy lifting.

If any staffers deserve a basket of free muffins, it'd be Waxman and Conyers!

9. How about big baskets of muffins, cookies and brownies?

12. And then some free personal training sessions!
(Don't want to look like we're trying to make them too lethargic to work!)

14. well, it's just an idea for a nice treat! We could send fruit.

2. Yes, and if they need more I hope whoever handles that obliges them
Maybe shift some staffers from the do-nothing congress critter's offices to Waxman and Conyers?

11. sending food may not be a good idea
even if it came from an established vendor. The staff need to worry about security (poisons, etc..) and may not be allowed to eat it.

A donation to a charity in their name may be safer, and probably more appreciated.
