When I was a boy, just about every summer we'd take a vacation. And you know, in 18 years, we never had fun.

Let me see if I have this straight. President Lame Duck tells congress that they can't, not "shouldn't" but CAN'T leave for an August recess until they validate his illegal spying program through FISA reform legislation but he apparently doesn't have the same sort of problem with the Iraqi Parliament taking a similar recess while our soldiers are over there dying.

Take your proclamation and shove it where the sun don't shine, Mr. President.
