Because Congress Has Nothing Else With Which to Occupy Its Time During the 109 Days That They Are Scheduled to Be Working

WASHINGTON — The House on Tuesday passed a non-binding resolution reaffirming "In God We Trust" as the national motto.

Because the nation is not at war, they've agreed on a budget for FY 2012, they've done what they can to fix the economy so it's time for bullshit and flowers!

OK, to be fair, the 109 days in session for the year is next year. This year, they're planning to work a whopping 111 days. Oh, the humanity!

Ten holidays a year. 104 weekend days. If you get two weeks of vacation a year, which many workers do not, that's another ten days off. 124 days off, so you're working 241 days a year. Which means that this year, on 130 days that you're working, your Congressman is pretty much just fucking off or trying to extort money get campaign contributions from large banks, the Chamber of Commerce or all the other professional cocksuckers who infest the political system.
