2. Hours = actual working hours. Something like 3+ weeks. I'm just luxuriating in the sanity of it all

3. I was just going to post on that
It's denial, big time.

Eventually they'll get the hint that they lost and the adults are in charge now.

4. Instead of working Monday
The leadership decided to let football games (Ohio,Florida) take precedence.

So they will work on Tuesday. Blunt wanted to know when, I guess hoping it would be later.

I don't think it's a good way to start out, making these kinds of exceptions first thing.

6. They aren't yet voting on any legislation; the 100 hours starts next week
Yesterday and today were just voting on organizational matters and the House rules.

Next week the legislative calendar starts. Worry not!
