Did you see it?

You had to look fast. After several weeks of vacation the House gaveled back into session. They were hard at it for almost 15 minutes. Poor things were so exhausted by that effort that they had to recess for a few hours. Question: Do they have their graham crackers and milk before or after their nap?

When Newt the the republicans threw me out during a government shutdown in the 90s is when I dedicated my life to removing all republicans from office, no matter what else they might stand for or do.

As a contractor I was not afforded any back pay or other compensation for the time lost.
