I have been hearing on the radio in chicago (wls 890 AM) that congress is preparing to take a two month vacation spanning through the end of september... but after trying to research this on the internet I have been unable to find any news.

It seems quite disturbing that congress would decide to take a two month vacation with our economy on the brink of faliure.

Have any of you heard this news?

Our skiving, nose in the feedbag under achievers, clear off for 76 days this year for summer. Funny thing is that nobady actually notices, the country steadily goes down hill whether they sit in parliament or not !!

It makes my mind wonder just what may be in store for us in the next couple of months.

So close to the election seems like an odd time to be absent from the processes they control.

Hmmmmm.

Let the games begin, and I don't mean the ones in China. So, yeah, I live in DENVER. Imagine what a nuke going off during the DNC next month would do the general populace. It would mean panic and scramble. Strange times indeed.

When congress is not in session, our wallets and liberalities are safe.

Then they come back.

Yeah, it reminds me of how the Bin Laden family was escorted out of the country immediately after 9/11 with government help and blessings, and also how I have heard that many were told not to go to work at the World Trade Center when that fiasco happened.

The biggest problem I can see with this is, is that Congress indeed returns .

Now, if only they would take a Permanant Vacation, things might improve.
