I'll have a longer post up today on the Open House Project (part of the Sunlight Foundation), which officially unveiled its report in the Capitol this morning.

Minority Leader Boehner and Congressman Brad Miller were there to discuss transparency and putting a bit of Web 2.0 into the House.  Republican David All and Democrat Philip de Vellis put out this video upon the launch of the event.  It's so bipartisan.

I want to give a special shout-out to Brad Miller, who had to run off to a predatory lending hearing after his remarks.  He's been on that issue for the last four years, before it was cool.  Congressman Miller talked about citizens and journalism, and in a true sign he gets the ideology of the open left, analogized what we do to the partisan press of the late 18th century.

What I've learned from this project is that bringing Congress into the 21st century is happening, with good people all over the Hill and outside of the institution.  It's just an organizing problem.

More soon, but we should note that this whole governing thing can be pretty cool.  Cocktail weenies... Mmmmm...
