get your navy bean soup while it lasts

A story in today's Post says that the famed Senate dining room is about to go private contract. While the House's in-house eateries have been contracted out since the 80s, the Senate's facilities have remained within the confines of the government, but are pretty much in the red. What does it mean for the most pampered politicians in all the land, their staffers and interns? It basically means more J Street and less tradition. It also means a decrease in wages for all food service employees who will serve you your overpriced jumbo slices and salad by the pound. My recommendation: who cares-- Firehook is right there!
