Looks like the two audacious representatives are leaving the orbit of the gravity of our concerns, and the small kine reality of those who live Hawaii, and will soon be off on a trajectory to another planet called Washington. It's in a distant planetary system where everyone is insulated with privilege in civil servant uniforms, and inoculated with hypocrisy, where the political atmosphere is thick with the promise of the big payoff.We look forward to their digital communiques telling how successful their mission is going on our behalf.聽
