This seems a little ridiculous

[Nystul]

Not even D.C. cafeterias, it's the House cafeteria(s). I doubt that any money at all was appropriated for this...I don't even recall from my visits to the Hill whether that cafeteria is open to the public or not. This is an empty gesture and a little bit childish for sure, but let's not blow it out of proportion. Empty gestures and childish behavior are every day activities in every legislative body I've seen in action, from Congress to U.K.'s Parliament to my local school board and township meetings :)
