Jay Leno on Congress and its vacation policy

"What a crowd! You sound like Congress going on its five-week vacation.

"Congress went on a five-week vacation, starting today. Boy, do they deserve it!

"They got so much done this year, solved the energy crisis, health care, Social Security, immigration.... Take a break, fellas.

"Have you noticed Congress doesn't even call it a 'vacation.' They call it a 'recess.'

"How come the only ones who get recess are Congress, kindergartners and juries? The three groups you can't trust to make an adult decision."

'i had rather be any kind o' thing than a fool. and yet i would not be thee, nuncle. thou has pared thy wit o'both sides and left nothing in the middle.'

unethical, and outright criminal and treasonous actions in congress, cannot be lightly brushed away by presenting them as harmless kindergarten pastimes. and the people are asked to demand themselves, whether they can go on and ethically justify to rob their kindergarten children of their freedom and their future, by mortgaging it in trillions, to finance illegal private wars for private profits of some bandits, shedding the blood of millions of people. 'comedians' complicit in the business of duping the people by distracting them from their own irresponsibility to keep them from ever assuming their responsibility, have plenty of blood on their hands.
