Since the White Sox have won the World Series, the Patient's Bill passed, breaking the Endangered Species Act is stalled in the Senate, the Japanese went home and I finally kicked appropriations into submission, I've got nothing left to do for the afternoon. Nothing at all

[notsomuchforyou]

Jeeeze, don't you have anything better to do? Like run the country?

[jlyman]

No, I finished my portion of running the country today. Congress goes on recess tomorrow and I have a whole weekend to myself. Don't rain on my parade, Amy.

[notsomuchforyou]

Rather convenient, that recess.

[jlyman]

There are two ways of looking at it: Congress is celebrating my natal day by going the fuck away and getting out of my hair, or I am being nice to Congress and letting them run free range in their home districts. If you love something, let it go.

[notsomuchforyou]

No, they are lulling you into complacency, hoping you will over celebrate. I am sure they are plotting a nice birthday suprise for you on Monday.

[jlyman]

Will there be candy corn?

[notsomuchforyou]

Don't know. Though I have heard something about tar and feathers.

[jlyman]

Puritan love-fest is right around the corner, isn't it?

[notsomuchforyou]

Actually, I think they were planning a little devilment with you on All Hallow's Eve.

[jlyman]

Ah, but I don't have any delicious soul for them to steal.

[notsomuchforyou]

True, I'm sure they consider you to be an unsavory soul.

[jlyman]

Saved yet again! Oh the irony.

[notsomuchforyou]

Ha! Have a good weekend off and a Great Birthday.

Did you get your AARP card yet, old man?

[jlyman]

Thanks and bite me.

[deputydeputy]

Oh, the comments I could make to that. But I'll refrain, even if it's not at all fair that you get to drink beer and stuff while the rest of us are still hard at work.

[jlyman]

Work harder over there and maybe one day, you too will get beer breaks at work.
