So many instances where it’s hard to distinguish the real news from the stuff that shows up in The Onion. From the Post, new Congress to shelve old two day work week for a five day work week. No, not makin’ this up.
Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) — one of the worst from the old GOP Congress — on why working for a living is against family values: “Keeping us up here eats away at families. Marriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families — that’s what this says.”
Late Update: An anonymous TPM Reader responds to Rep. Kingston: “As an active duty military member Iâm pretty offended by members of congress crying about working a 5 day work week. And for Rep Kingstonâs comments about families, give me a break! How about the thousands of military marriages that have ended because of husbands and wives being deployed for a year multiple times?”
