I am certain that your excitement is at a fever pitch about the promise contained in the Subject of this Blog Posting. I am excited also.
Yesterday I was watching a House of Representatives Hearing. The Chairman in his introductory remarks said the following, “All Members Will Have Seven Days to Submit Opening Statements For The Record”.
Did I just hear some of you say that his statement about Opening Statement confuses you? It seems to be pretty straight forward to me.
Sometimes I am at a loss for words to understand why my dear readers do not understand what they do not understand. You are obviously intelligent because you are smart enough to read my foolishness but many times you just can’t understand plain English!
Please allow me to allow me to explain in the simplest wording I can put together. In this context...
- “Opening” refers to the beginning.
- “Seven Days” means anywhere from 24 hours to 168 hours after the beginning.
Now I am confused! Is the Chairman telling us that committee members can actually tailor their Opening Comments about the committee hearing after having the benefit of reading the testimony of what actually transpired in the committee hearing?
I would not be surprised if these Opening Statements are really Forward Thinking.
Would they kid u?

Lagniappe: Regarding the promise I made in the Subject of this Blog Posting. I must admit I can’t live up to that lofty commitment. I meant well but I have failed and, as they say in Congress, “I sincerely apologize for my shortcomings. That having been said & duly recorded, let’s go to Happy Hour.”
