Rep. Jeff Flake (R, AZ) spent a week on an uninhabited tropical island this summer doing survival-type activities: the Hill has the story and his journal. It’s pretty interesting stuff; while his week was almost without incident, this sort of thing isn’t exactly easy to do, and Rep. Flake wasn’t bad at writing about it.
I think that this trip will gather a little more notice than Flake really expects, if only for the photo:
Certainly the writer of the Hill article approved: it’s not every day that the phrase “tanned and sculpted torso” appears in that publication.

A survivor "Congress" reality show would be huge...

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
You're thinking too small, lets take all 435! nt

We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams

I bet Flake could take out the entire Democratic caucus with a few diamonds, some coal, and a bamboo shaft.
And knowing Flake, he’d probably take out the big-spenders on the GOP side, too.
