Summer Recess for Congress . . ????
I'm not sure when this starts but I think they should either stay or cut it short and keep the nation focused on the war and troops and impeachment -- and tons of investigations.

Also, they've voted themselves another $4,400 per year -- !!!!

What is this the 10th time they've increased their salaries in 10 years?

1. I believe they enrolled themselves in
the automatic pay-raise plan some years ago. It's probably almost impossible to stop the raises nowadays. :sarcasm:

2. stinking dogs, they do not deserve to give themselves a raise
unless they stop this regime.

3. I don't know if it's still true but
Harry Reid was going to keep some senators in DC and "working" so that Bush couldn't make recess appointments.

I hope he sticks with the plan.

4. I was thinking about recess appointments too.
It will be interesting to see if Reid can keep Junior in check.

5. They have to recess ... because Smirk and Sneer have recess appointments to make.
:shrug: I thought that was obvious by now.
