We learned many things from Roland Burris’ visit to the U.S. Capitol today.  While I’m not sure if any of them are particularly useful, this part stood out:

Capitol police officers tried to clear a path for Mr. Burris. “You can’t keep a regular citizen from walking into the Capitol,” one officer shouted.

News to me.  Have you tried walking up those steps, lately?  Any one want to try out this new policy on their lunch break tomorrow and report back?*
