November 13, 2007 (LPAC)--According to the Congressional newspaper, The Hill, Nancy Pelosi's second-in-command, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) has decided that, in his words, "There would be no initiated legislation out of the House after [Friday] the 16th of November." His announcement amounts to shutting down the 110th Congress for the rest of the year. "What I've told the committee chairmen," Hoyer said, "is that the only business that I will schedule time for, will be the finishing of business that we've already initiated, and that we are getting back from the Senate, whether it's appropriations bills or other conference reports on authorization bills, energy being one."

Steny Hoyer is done pooping for the year, and he's closing the outhouse. Don't be surprised if he seems to be gaining weight!
