Hair of the dog, or sleep it off?

The first of a few strained analogies bouncing around my head.

So. You were drunk. Really drunk. It's now 6am, and you've woken up at the bottom of the stairs. You remember tumbling down them some hours before.

You had a great time. Hey, I was there -- I had a great time too.

But now you feel awful. You've vomited up the expensive, four-course meal that you enjoyed so much. Perhaps you overpaid.

You are wondering the best way to get back to the healthy, happy person you normally are. A couple of choices...

Hair of the dog that bit you. This is a colloquialism for having a little drinkeepoo to get you through the hangover. Maybe a couple of beers with breakfast? I hear it helps. But it seems to me that you'll just get another hangover a few hours later, and it will be just as bad. Your recovery will have been delayed. And you'll (justifiably) feel like an alcoholic.

Sleep it off. Seriously, your body needs to recover. You poisoned it with alcohol. You robbed it of nutrition. So do something that actually contributes to your health -- drink a tall glass of water and go to bed. I would understand if you take an advil or two, we all need some help getting through the pain. But the only road to recovery is to contract into bed and regain your strength.

So -- which route is our drunken Congress choosing?

Government spending is poverty. It is the destruction of wealth. Imagine a world of hungry people.
