Alas, the poor Congressman

Currently our illustrative Congress works a two day week. Apparently the new Democratic Congress wants to work a five day work week (partly, one suspects, to try to deal with all the important unfinished business our current bunch are busy deferring). Here's what one outraged Republican has to say about this

Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) -- one of the worst from the old GOP Congress -- on why working for a living is against family values: "Keeping us up here eats away at milies. Marriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families -- that's what this says."

Imangine. A five hour week.

We clearly aren't paying these people enough.
