The wrong end of the stick

From the BBC:
Peers who rarely turn up to the House of Lords should be asked to retire, according to some of their colleagues.
Good Lord, no.  Peers who fail to show up and their colleagues in the Commons who act likewise should rather be commended  for limiting the damage that they do and setting a good example for the others to follow.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
