Me too (about taking tomorrow off) and I don't even watch college football!

In this case, though, the Repubs seemed to get away with it until the Dems announced they were starting a five-day (really a four-and-a-half day, let's be honest on both sides here) workweek when they take over in January, and then it seemed like the whole country went, "What? You've been working how many days the past few years? I don't think the Republicans got blasted at all for that particular example of a bad work ethic until after it was announced it was ending.

Which is not to say the Dems should get a free ride if they end up instituting the same workweek. Let's give it a few weeks. If they start working Tuesday night and ending Thursday afternoon, too, I'll be screaming louder than anyone.
