Happy Friday afternoon, kids. We at Capitol Ill understand that you’ve probably spent the last four hours or so ignoring emails, GChatting, and trying to figure out if you were still over the legal limit when you drove to work this morning. That’s why we’re kicking off a little something new – compiling a set of “things you were probably too hungover to process” so that when you step into that meeting in 45 minutes, there’s something knocking around inside your skull besides tequila metabolites. Without further ado:
