Congress and the President throw a "Hail Mary"
September 2011 By David K. Curtiss
You know the feeling: your favorite team is down by a
score, the game clock is ticking to zero, and the quarterback
heaves the ball toward the end zone in a last-ditch effort to
win the game. The ball seems suspended in air as receivers
jostle for position—success or failure hanging in the balance.
It's football season in America.
