Do-Nothing Congress

Saw this Reuters article last night; enjoyed it immensely...

Reuters: Congress faces long list of unfinished tasks
U.S. lawmakers returning from a weeklong break on Monday will take up a long list of unfinished -- and possibly insurmountable -- tasks that could help decide whether voters will re-elect them in November.

Action or inaction on a series of contentious issues including immigration, pensions, energy and federal spending will determine whether this Congress sheds the impression that it has made few legislative achievements...

..."Historically this is certainly not a Congress that will be remembered," said Larry Sabato, of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics. "There is just not much there."...

Ahhhh, Congress. The lazy college slacker who does all his term papers the night before they're due. Stock up on the Jolt Cola and ginkgo biloba, our dear GOP leaders, November's only a few months away and you're averaging a D- at best.

PS- They haven't done nothing, though. They did try to save Terri Schiavo and stop gays from marrying.
