Remarked elsewhere this morning that they've been doing this show since the Newt days, and that it's been on longer than Gunsmoke was.
I know it's not actually funny, but there is at least some entertainment value to it-- will they use the same old excuses and arguments again, or will they add something new? What reasons will they put forward to support their anti-government views this time? How many times will each Republican member of the House break their oaths this season?
