House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is discovering the cold truth about
governing with a slim majority: It's much easier to promise behavioral
change for Congress than to deliver it.
Pelosi vowed that five-day workweeks would be a hallmark of a
harder-working Democratic majority. So far, the House has logged only
one. Lawmakers plan to clock three days this week.

Is it safe to assume that you'll be getting out the crayons and writing to
YOUR elected representative about this?

"Pelosi seems to be following a familiar pattern. Twelve years ago, Speaker
Newt Gingrich promised to reform the House and govern by principles of
fairness and transparency. But, for leaders of both parties, the reality
of ruling with a narrow majority translates into tight controls over floor
debate, cozy relations with lobbyists and accommodating the needs of
lawmakers (who hate working long weeks)."

I think these guys should be on the clock and get paid for the time they
are at their work. Let them punch in and out. That includes both
parties members.

Strange. That wasn't a priority for you until the Democrats had a majority.
What changed your alleged mind?
