You Poor Little Rich People

Most people work during the holidays. Some even work on Christmas and New Year's. While it may not be fun, these are the lives we choose for ourselves. If we do not show up we will most likely get fired for not doing our job. Most individuals who report during the holidays have really important jobs. Doctors, firemen, policemen, politicians. Wait, what? Politicians? But they are too good to have to work up until Christmas. I mean, c'mon! It's one of the two most holiest holidays according to Sen. Kyl a Republican from Arizona. Hey, Mr. Kyl did you know that the 300 million Americans that live here are not all Christian? Crazy, I know. Nevertheless, even if we were all Christian would it matter? NO. Here's why: One, you are an elected official who serves the people. Right now there is a large legislative agenda on the table including the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell and you're worried about Christmas?? I love Christmas, but even I know when some things are a little more important than that. I'm sure your families will all be there before, during, and after Christmas.
Before you complain about working up until Christmas do me a favor. I want you to think about those individuals who will not be home for the holidays, most notably those soldiers who are still off fighting for our freedom. Some of those soldiers are no doubt waiting on the Senate to change a dumb policy that should never have existed in the first place. Also think about those who don't even have a home and may be spending Christmas on the streets. Or those kids who won't get any presents, or those who will be in a soup kitchen, or those who are in prison. Do you get the picture yet? NO ONE, and I do mean no one, will feel one bit sorry for your work schedule. Last time I checked the Senate is in session roughly half a year? Hmmm. Public officials should be working for their people, not enraging them, please stop being babies. While not all Senators have been complaining, there should be none! You know, a lot of people do not like politicians, this definitely does not help your cause.
