Let us pause from our relentless bashing of the House of Delegates for this kind characterization from Warren Fiske of the Virginian-Pilot:

Some lawmakers describe the disagreements between the two Republican-controlled chambers as a biorhythm of the legislative process; after all, the legislative bodies were created as a check on each other.
The House, up for election every two years, is a boiling pot of ideas. The Senate, which faces voters every four years, traditionally takes a more deliberative and long-term view.

This should quiet those who say many House measures are half-baked. They’re boiled!
