2. Yes, Hoyer and Republic Blunt and Hoyer's going for it. Agreeing they
work real hard out in their districts so need more time at home.

3. Who is Hoyer?
Blunt is the House Minority shill, I believe, and so is of course crying because he can't get Congressional welfare-money for no work.

I think the House voted on these rules, and unless there are a few hundred other Congresscritters behind both of them agreeing with them, they are just blowing smoke.

5. It's a real love fest between Hoyer and Blunt. Waxman saying he won't
have time for committees if they only meet 3 days.

4. I don't think Hoyer is agreeing to it totally; Fridays off sometimes, is
what I heard. Also, they might be working w/o being in session as they attend lots of meetings not for viewing public.

10. Same old, same old.
What is Pelosi saying about cutting the work week? Is it off or on the table?

If these fools don't want the job and don't want to work then get the hell out of the kitchen! Don't run for these offices! Stay the hell home in your districts and look pretty and patronize your country clubs!
