Washington Closed...until the fall?

"Even before the storm arrived in the nation's capital, the House announced it was scrapping the rest of its workweek.  Several hearings and meetings were postponed."

Lots of snow in the East.  It's front page headlines.  "SNOW shuts down Washington!"  I was a tad disappointed Obama's drop in the polls didn't earn front-page consideration.  His ratings dropped...again...but you may not have heard.  But so goes the mainstream media.  They are too busy talking about Sarah Palin's hand (post coming soon).  

Is it just me or would it be amazingly awesome if the snow closed up shop in DC on a bit more permanent basis?...like, until the Fall elections?  I figure the more time passes without our looney Congress unable to pass even more fiscally irresponsible legislation the better.

And apparently some people are concerned about the waste in tax-payer dollars due to the loss of productivity.  But, here's my thinking: our government wastes a couple hundred million bucks at lightning speed, so maybe they could actually IMPROVE the deficit by simply NOT working.

I'm serious. Somebody crunch the numbers. Congress: stop working.  It will be better for the American People.

Also, is this more evidence of those ridiculous global warming claims?...which are continuing to unravel at the seams.  Do you know parts of the Nobel Peace Prize winning research on Global Warming were based on two non-published student dissertations?  And others were based on reports from environmental pressure groups?  Now doesn't that just sound super objective.  And still others were based on an article in a Mountaineering Magazine.  Seriously...THIS is the research that is changing the way we live our lives.  I refuse to accept flawed, biased and elementary research as proof of man-made global warming.

So, while we prep for more rain and cooler temps here in the Northwest, I send along the best of luck to my east coast friends.  Snuggle up with some hot cocoa and know we are only praying for the snow to stall our government's progressive agenda...not yours (as long as its not progressive).
