Apparently there is turmoil on Capital Hill as the democrats have revealed an idea that is going to destroy the families of congressmen everywhere...5 day work weeks.
Quote:
Rep. Steny H. Hoyer, the Maryland Democrat who will become House majority leader and is writing the schedule for the next Congress, said members should expect longer hours than the brief week they have grown accustomed to.

To which one republican replied...
Quote:
"Keeping us up here eats away at families," said Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), who typically flies home on Thursdays and returns to Washington on Tuesdays. "Marriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families -- that's what this says."

Gee, Jack. Sorry you can no longer make $165,200 a year for a three day workweek. I'm sure you have the sympathy of Americans everywhere.
