Looking Like America

By Zamboni

Nancy Pelosi announced her appointees to the "Super Congress" deficit-reduction committee today: a black guy from South Carolina, an Hispanic guy from California, and a white guy from Maryland. These Democratic nominees are added to the party's Senate appointees, which include a white woman from Washington State, our almost-President from Massachusetts, and a white guy from Montana.

Okay, so the Democrats probably could use some more women, but we'll consider proper homage paid to 1) former party nominees for President, and 2) guys who have had budget experience. (Besides, we like Max. Sorry, folks, but it's sentimental.)

Meanwhile, though, the Republican nominees are all white males.

We cats just want to know: Which party better represents the nation? Our phones are open.
