In a recently-taken photo that is currently being e-mailed around the country like wildfire, members of the Connecticut House of Representatives are shown engaging in every college student's favorite pastime...goofing around on their laptops during a boring lecture.

In the photo, House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr. is shown speaking as the House convenes to vote on a new budget while Rep. Barbara Lambert and Jack F. Hennessy do their very Congress best to tune him out, both playing games of computer solitaire. Sitting near them, two other congresspeople surf ESPN.com and Facebook.

Politicians...they're just like us! Only, you know, they have unfathomable amounts of power and responsibility. 

Apologize, Connecticut. And, for the love of all that is good in this country, just press minimize.
