(666 posts)and not working?? They have a damn nerve!! They should be working 5 days a week like the rest of us.
This is insane. We, the people, should demand that our money NOT go and pay these idiots for working less than 1/2 of the year. You know this August they are in session just 2 days!!! Just 2 days!!! Can we shutdown all our businesses for 29 days in August -- Let's ALL go on vacation!!!
