Small wonder that the effort expended and the punishment endured in obtaining a good alibi often exceed the effort and grief requisite for the attainment of a most marked achievement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It’s a sorry statement about how broken Washington is that we could not take advantage of this unique and sad ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55094]]></link><description><![CDATA[It’s a sorry statement about how broken Washington is that we could not take advantage of this unique and sad moment in history and enact serious lobbying reform.
