REID: We have other things to do that are extremely important. We have to make sure we complete work on the DREAM Act….If the House completes work on Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, we’ll have to work on that….We are going to complete the work we have to do here. I want to get out of here just as soon as we can, but we’re not going to walk away from any of the work we have to do. Christmas is a week from Saturday, I understand that, but I hope the Republicans understand that also. Because we are going to complete our work no matter how long it takes in this Congress. We have to do the work of the American people…You know, there is still Congress after Christmas. So if the Republicans think that because they can stall and stall and stall that we take a break we’re through, we’re not through. Congress ends on January 4th. So we’re going to continue working on this stuff until we get it done.

Indeed, we'll see what actually gets done as opposed to empty rhetoric. Hopefully the President can restrain himself from going behind their back and making horrible deals until January 4th.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'? A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult! - Chief Judge Haywood

"The 4th Earl of Hereford led the fight on the bridge, but he and his men were caught in the arrow fire. Then one of de Harclay's pikemen, concealed beneath the bridge, thrust upwards between the planks and skewered the Earl of Hereford through the anus, twisting the head of the iron pike into his intestines. His dying screams turned the advance into a panic."'

Does this mean they work on holidays or are Christmas and New Year's still days off?
That depends. Do they usually work on Saturdays?

It's the newest division of Republicorp, the fusing of the American Corporations and the Republican Party. They were proud to announce that last week the brand was so successful they hired a new spokesmen from the PR firm Obamaco. They hope that with Obamaco's proven track record in attracting new clients, Repubicorp will be able to branch out into new and exciting areas of investment and growth opportunity.
Come on Thanas all the hip kids are coming up with new nicknames for Obama the past few weeks since his political strategy has switched from hoping congress fixes everything because he wants to be above the fray(IE do nothing) to out and out working directly for the Republican party and making a terrible analogy that he is so damn weak as to give into hostage takers demands.
