“Sen.Mark Kirk, a Republican from Illinois... is assigned to Desk No. 95, which is near the Senate's most heavily used entrance, making it perfect to serve as the chamber's "candy desk." Kirk, his aides and Illinois candy manufacturers keep it stocked with treats for senators and staff...."Senators, being older, can get kind of grumpy in the afternoon, and have this tradition of being able to reach into this desk to get a treat," Kirk, 52, said....The candy desk originated with Sen.

*
Kirk plans to hold on to the candy desk for two years altogether, then turn it over to a newcomer...And when only the least desirable candies — the "fuds and duds," Kirk calls them — are left, he gets on the horn.
