"The football team is doing good: Can we cut class on Friday?" That didn't work in High School, and it won't work in
Congress, either.
Thursday's championship football game between No. 2 Florida and No. 1 Oklahoma is obviously a big game, but big enough to shut down Congress?
Rep. Cliff Stearns hopes so.
Stearns, a Republican from Ocala, wrote to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday asking her to move votes scheduled for Thursday evening and Friday so House members from Florida and Oklahoma can go to the Bowl Championship Series national title game.
Good luck with that. Why not make the National Championship a National Holiday? At least play it on a Friday/Saturday. Idiots.
