One Last Moment with Your Republican Congress

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Democrat-CA), the in-coming Speaker of the House, has announed that the chamber will be in session Monday through Friday during its next term. No more waltzing in on Tuesday and leaving Thursday afternoon, as the out-going Republican congress has done. Not when you're being paid $170,000 a year.

The Republicans, in typical form, immediately whined and moaned about their longer work week, saying that since Pelosi won't let them spend more time with their families the Democrats are obviously the "anti-family" party.

Because god forbid these guys have to work an honest work week, you know...like the rest of America.
