Given that the House of Representatives is the voice of the majority, it is almost pointless to send our one Wyoming representative to Washington. (Especially when she rarley shows up to cast her vote.) But we take what we can get, we're not too proud to scrape the bottom of the barrell. Now, after seven two-year terms in Congress, Wyoming Represenative Barbara Cubin is finally retiring. It's easy to forget that not everyone has memorized the names of the 435 members of the House of Representatives, especially the name of the lone voice of the least populated state. Go figure. So coversations like the one below are fairly understandable.
Javier (President of the Hispanic Congressional Association): "How do you know Joy?"
Me: "Oh, we played softball together this summer. We have a lot of Cubin people on the Wyoming softball team."
Javier: "Yeah, they are good ball players. We could use some Cuban people on our softball team. We have some guys from the Dominican Republic who play with us though."
Me: Pause. "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."
