WELCH, WV — Local coal miner Don Billings has expressed deep sympathy for Congressmen having to work such long hours lately.
“Wow, four days in a row of sitting there eating takeout?” said Mr. Billings, his voice filled with compassion. “Boy, am I sorry to hear that.”
News of Congress’ brutal working conditions had reached Mr. Billings during a brief respite while a mine shaft was being repaired. “They came back to work in the evening after a four-hour dinner?” asked Mr. Billings in awe. “That is some kind of commitment. I sure do hope they get a nice long weekend after all that sitting around drinking.”
Across the nation, Congress saw an outpouring of support over the remarkable hours they were putting in. “Four straight days of actually being at the place they work, sitting there. What heroes,” said local telephone lineman Michael McGee. “I even heard they had trouble getting DoorDash to deliver, so a few had to send their aides to run across the street to pick up Chipotle. I really feel for them.”

Bonus:
Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford was my Dad’s favorite song. He wasn’t a coal miner; he was a farmer, almost as hard.
My farmer clients occasionally ask me if have any interest in buying a farm. I tell them I do not like to gamble on weather and markets and I am much too lazy for the nonstop work of being one of the sons of the soil.
They will be in the new House. News out that Biden’s private office at UPenn contains TS and lower class documents from his VP years. VP s cannot declas documents. Supposedly their presence discovered Nov 2nd 2022 before midterms. More interference in elections by corrupted Justice Dept. Also ChiComs have donated $50 million to UPenn. Hmmmm?
