"I'd be very happy if our Congresscritters attended to the business of legislating real laws and stopped wasting time passing resolutions recognizing Christmas, Ramadan, Hannukah, National Hair Week and doing all the rest of those pointless gestures that just use up tax money paying for bureaucrats to write dumb symbolic resolutions." I'm with Zach. I'd be very happy if the Congresscritters would just stay home.

They could get together for one week out of every two years, pass a small budget and a few ceremonial resolutions and then go home and work at their real jobs.
