Priorities

While the latest empty maw of a "story" was consuming the nation's attention by chronicling the unfunny Grade-Z bullying schtick of a comedian who was simply following the lead of the Unfunnny Grade-Z Bullying Schticker-in-Chief, an anniversary happened in a government agency.

The four members of the Federal Election Commission passed the mark of collectively having 32 more years of work than they were supposed to. Commissioners are appointed for finite terms, but since the governmental persons who are supposed to appoint their replacements haven't, then they haven't stepped down. And two spots on the Commission remain open because of the same problem. It's one thing for a government agency to never die, long after whatever original purpose moved has been fulfilled. It's a whole other thing for the people serving as its governors to never quit and never get replaced, sometimes for more than a decade after their actual term ended.

Naturally, as the story notes, they have new offices.
