So what are you supposed to do when there's a bill in Congress you care a lot about, and your rep is a cosponsor of the bill, but it's low-profile and stuck in committee? (And your rep isn't on that committee?) I've already called my rep. Am I also supposed to call the committee chair? The subcommittee chair? Will they care at all about my call given that they're not from my district or even my state?

Also, totally unrelatedly, does anyone here know combinatory logic? I've recently decided it would be a good thing for me to know, and I'm having some trouble teaching myself the basics.

About all I can understand out of that combinatory calculi bit is that it reminds me of LISP. Everything else makes my brain hurt.

you could ask [livejournal.com profile] themage about the math. he's pretty good at it. it looks like a cool thing to know. i'm always interested in stretching my brain. :)
