Well, it's done. Time now for the legal challenges, and in November we have to sweep the Halls of Congress clean.

I think we need Hercules for that task, like the Augean stables.

The Augean stables should have housed bulls, not horses. Then what was being swept out would be an appropriate corollary to the Halls of Congress.
