The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

As Boener says, Jordan's never built anything, his career has been taking/ripping things apart, and he doesn't know how to count votes. - Lapsody

-------------------------

At the end of a 26 year career, I remember John Boener crying in one of his last press conferences. It may have been in the well of the house, I can't recall. But the crocodile tears flowed when he was asked about his greatest accomplishment in his long and storied career. Rather than cite any major legislation that he sponsored or any cause that he championed that benefited his constituents, the only thing worth mentioning was his arranging for the Pope's speech to Congress.
