What are they up to in Congress these days?

Especially since their approval rating is at an all-time low. This was supposed to be the get-things-done Congress after the November 2006 elections, by a narrow vote, turned the leadership over to the Democratic party.

They’re not getting things done. Not big things, anyway.

On this very day your US House will vote to express its “sense” that “there should be established a National Watermelon Month.” Later this afternoon, the people’s House will move to consider whether to similarly express themselves over “National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day.” And then, in a separate bill, it will weigh in on setting aside a day of recognition for this nation’s letter carriers.

Meanwhile, three of them are spending nearly all their time running for president, and trying to impress the American people with what…they’ll accomplish in Washington….?
