This is a bad article.
1. I want my politicians to be worried about how their discussions would look on the front page of Politico.

3. “When email is outlawed, only outlaws will email” is the most idiotic fucking sentence ever written on the entire internet.
4. Being too lazy to pick up the phone and call someone is a poor reason to be against government transparency.
5. “Effective government beats transparent government” is basically saying “well the trains ran on time”. I’d rather know if the trains are fueled by human corpses than have them run on time. I don’t believe I even need to say this
