Jobs Created as Congress Spends $ at Home

It’s eerily quiet her at the capitol building. Except for Rep. Sean Duffy who has been sitting cross-legged in the Rotunda every day teaching himself the chords to “Call Me Maybe” on his guitar. He is one of several freshmen congressmen who have vowed to sleep in their offices instead spend some of their $174,000 annual salary on a second home in DC. Why he hasn’t gone home to Wisconsin, I don’t know. The acoustics in the in Rotunda are pretty awesome, I guess.… READ FULL POST > > >

The Republicans and the Democrats love a lot of things about each other’s Budget Plans. The Republican’s love the Trebuchet Ms Font the Dems use to label their bar graphs. The Democrats Love that the Repubs double space their table of contents. But you’ll never hear it in public because neither will dare admit their admiration for the other.

Congress Lays the SMACKDOWN on Supreme Court, White House

 
Hi everyone. It’s been a remarkable past 3 weeks here at the Capitol! I apologize for not updating this blog sooner, but I’ve been incredibly busy taking notes at Congressional hearings, delivering memos, and filing items – such as Rep. Gutierrez’s gigantic photo of Justin Bieber – into the Legislative Archives (FYI, it’s under Immigration Law in the “J” section just after Japanese-American Internment.)

SO MUCH TO DO during an election year! With more and more 24-hour news channels, House and Senate members like Rosco and Roy must work overtime to promote their candidate for president, leaving little time for arguing over laws and resolutions.

First off, I’d like to apologize for the strongly worded title of this blog post. I’m just so frustrated. And let me tell you why. Everyday, I see on the television, read in the newspapers, hear on the radio, and absorb from the internet how terrible our Congress is.… READ FULL POST > > >
