The Rep reports on his blog:
"As you may have noticed the house has not been moving on any serious legislation. Yes, we have done several resolutions honoring schools teachers and such but no real meaty bills. On the other hand the Republican controlled senate is moving important legislation and has been diligently doing their work. It is looking now like the senate may have to take 2 to 5 WEEKS off to allow the Democrat controlled house to catch up."
...but is it Democrats slowing down work in the House?
Surely it takes time to determine, say, how to charge $4 million for a Playboy (so that tax on pornography may replace tax on food), or how to issue death certificates for aborted fetuses (absent their names, birthdates, or Social Security numbers), or how to curtail this doggone homosexual agenda in public schools (before it crops up)???
Yeah, right.

Perhaps...
the Rep could speed things along by taking a solemn vow to NOT introduce anymore grandstanding, useless, mean-spirited, bigoted, high-handed, and unnecessary legislation ever again.
Better yet, he could resign and thereby save himself the pain and agony of watching the carpet curl while he waits for the legislative process to run it's course.

I was thinking the same thing about Stacey's parents. Had they done something more productive with their time, like playing monopoly or some shit, think how lucky we'd be.
