Yep! The Rep controlled congress is giving themselves another week off for Memorial Day holiday. Not one day, but the whole week!
They are now going to break the record of "the do nothing" congress. previously held by the 1948 Harry Truman congress as least days in session.
Your Tax $$$ at work... Or NOT a work!

Yup, as opposed to presidents getting BJs on the job.

K, so he got a load off his mind while at work, but that's irrelavent. Thanks for another useless post.

If Congress was doing anything useful, this might actually concern me. But with this Congress, the less time they're legislating, the better off I feel.

Hey, at least no one got killed and it didn't cost the taxpayers a dime - until the Republicans got their panties in a wad.

Wow, I wonder if anyone would notice in the Republican party supporters were replaced by a flock of parrots. Get a new line. Look at the scales, a couple of BJs vs thousands of lives (total) lost to a war started on a lie.

With insightful, mature posts like this, it's no wonder you're Elite.

I whoeheartedly agree. Do you really want this Congress being in session even more and passing even more retarded spending bills? Considering congress is controlled by the party of smaller government, they sure are spending up a storm (and hurting our economy in the long-run).

Well, given that the Executive Branch of the government is working hard to take power away from the other branches, that gives Congress less and less to do, so they might as well go on vacation, I suppose...

"I'm Just Joking zendari"

Seriously, just as an example is stem cells legislation.

Frist said he would address it (the senate) long ago, and has since poo pooed it.
Instead, they are bent on passing unnecessary laws that mean NOTHING (or taking vacations).

(see my UNNECESSARY LAWS post)
