I don't know if wisdom works in that case.

Tuesday morning, the congressional switchboard sent an email to congressional offices that read: “Due to the high volume of external calls, House telephone circuits serving 202-225-XXXX phone numbers are near capacity resulting in outside callers occasionally getting busy signals.” The 225 exchange is the one used by members of the House. In spot calls to six House offices Tuesday morning, a busy signal was often found. In a televised speech Monday evening, Mr. Obama called on Americans to contact their lawmakers in support of a compromise over a plan to increase the federal borrowing authority that the Treasury Department says will be exhausted Aug. 2.
