U.S. House of Representatives - what a flippin' joke!

I happened to click onto Joe Walsh's Congressional page just now and saw the banner that the U.S.House of Representatives was in session.

The joint was empty! Where was everyone? Did they all gone home? Out to dinner? Over at the wading pool?

Rep. Joe Courtney (D-Connecticut) said, "Everyone of us here ..."

It'll look good on paper in the Congressional Record. He'll have some good sound bites. So will Rep. Perlmutter from Colorado.

But what a joke for the U.S. House of Representatives to be in session and no one there!
