Time for another vacation?

[kentuck]

The Congress just returned from their week off for Memorial Day. They have been back in Washington for 2 or 3 weeks and have accomplished absolutely nothing. Why do they even return?

Next weekend, they will begin their 4th of July vacation. Unlike you, who might get a day off for the holiday, Congress will once again take a whole week or more.

When they return, they will have another 2 or 3 weeks in which they can do nothing. Then they go on their long vacation. They will take off the entire month of August. Then they will go on their "real" vacations - to Paris, to Rome, to Greece, and other exotic places.

Then they will return in time to get nothing done once again.

It must be nice to get such a great vacation schedule and excellent healthcare, too?

2. I had someone ask me why I was scheduling something at work for July 4

I just looked at them and said, "it's a Monday."

4. And they do their jobs--doing nothing--so well.

Incomparably so.

5. John Boehner sets the schedule

they hated Nancy Pelosi because she made them work all year long and do things.

Even if you don't think it means anything, call the bastards and tell them what you think. Believe me, it means something. Those words are going into someone's ear and they can't help but hear.
