It must be nice to have a job where you can ignore your work for more than two weeks, then still take your summer vacation without repercussion.

Weekly Roundup: The NY Senate
This week, the NY Senate.

This week in the soap opera that is New York politics, a bunch of Republican and two Democrat senators decided that rather than doing the job they were elected/hired and getting paid to do, they would waste everyone’s time and money in a B.S. struggle to be crowned “leader of the senate”! So while we tax paying citizens get shafted, these scumbags are dickering over a title that nobody cares about. Get back to work you SOBs or we will find someone else to do your jobs.
