They couldn't pay me enough...

...to work in the Capitol basement, making large scale graphics for Senatorial Committee Meetings, like the Alito Confirmation Hearing currently going on in DC. It's not often that designers and production artists are mentioned in a national news network's blog, so I gotta give up the props to the lads and ladies who serve our elected folks with large charts that show, say, the trending of whale blubber oil sale exports over the last three years or whatnot.

They are truly the unsung heroes of congressional debate, these compositors of the large graphic. Working for federal pay scale, unrecognized by most on the Hill, and serving our country. But I want to propose a law mandating paid workshops for all of them, just to make sure chartjunk is minimized in this arena of public service.
