2. AFTER they're sworn in?
Why haven't they cleaned house already? Like last month.

4. Sometimes GD is the political equivalent of premature ejaculation.

5. Phooey! The whole somnambulant Congress needs all

to resume - and enact - the Congress' oversight role in the federal tug of war.
I'm looking forward to it.

And, there's so much buzz about the 100 hours agenda (good move Speaker Pelosi) that there ought to be public pressure to make some progress, as well.

I put down 1-3 seconds, but it won't be nearly that long.
