“LC” is all the rage in Wash, D.C. “OC” is Out.

Naturally, some things are little noticed by those of us, who as only occasional visitors to D.C. are still impressed with the history, the meaning, the majesty as well as the incumbents who we back home in our individual states and districts, have elected to advance the quest of American Democracy.

With pride we expect each to be dedicated to the people’s work and to collegiately debate weighty issues for our benefit in the many halls of our capitol.

We can be shocked then to learn about the new phenom, dubbed the “LC Phenom” by aides who talk too much.

A few of us outsiders did begin to notice furtive glances between members of Congress and the Senate as they passed each other. It is so subtle, with a raise of a brow here, the dusting of a shoulder there, the forced cough or puff of air, in various combinations not yet totally deciphered . But concentrated study has recently begun by the undercover contractors recently back from Georgia who will turn key the operations of the newly formed but not yet permanently named 501(c)3 org whose nominal purpose is to to study the difference between the words “blow” and “suck”, since so many politicians use each in back roon situations and negotiations.

But the real undercover purpose is to figure out the new, quiet, mostly only visual pig latin like code used amongst our elected lovers of pork and other pleasures. So far we have had to rely on under the table foreign donations, but we have pledges from several legislators on each side of the aisle to plug us into the very next pork place, Repubs and Dems alike thinking that we will use the money only to out the other side during this election cycle.

So far, only this much is known, or at least highly suspected. A certain combination, the raised right eye brow, followed by a twist of the head up, pursed lips lightly blowing air out while moving the head slightly around to the back probably solicits the “LC” question mark of “do you have a love child?” Slightly different combinations, starting with the left eye brow, with lips tightened to suck air in, probably turns the “LC” question into “do you Larry Craig?”.

It seems most of our leaders have begun to expect that most of them are doing something that should not prudently  be denied in front of a camera, and an effort is underway without the MSM or the MLM knowing anything about it, to get a reliable survey of which activity is practiced by whom and how many legislators are involved. We believe over ninety percent are suspected by the talkative insiders of “something”.

What the ultimate or even the near term purpose of this self survey is, remains unclear, although there is growing speculation it may be related to a new amendment to be attached to an irrelevant bill, essentially authorizing such ongoing activities as a paid benefit to help lawmakers manage the stress of their jobs and perhaps even making it a crime for anyone to expose it. The new benefit will not be taxed in keeping with the Republican pledges not to raise taxes. Democrats are expected to go along with that if they get to extend the benefit to family and “friends”. We just hope our funding gets in with the first possible pork roast because we need new furniture.

Unfortunately, the truth about the LC Chronicles, is really still blowing in the wind or elsewhere, but you can be assured that as we find more credible evidence, we will leak it to the National Enquirer, chosen because our very investigation of the LC Phenom could get us kicked out as a New York Times blog contributor, which we conduct under a name you would never suspect. Fox news has no clue either.

But anyone who bothered to read to the end or simply jumped here first, of course knows the LC Phenom refers to the initials for naughty behavior by someone in each dominant political party.
