So let me be sure I understand this? The country is in a "financial crisis" requiring "emergency bailouts", and Congress in taking the day off for a minor religion's holiday?

Given, two per cent of Americans are Jewish and eight per cent of Congressmen are, but during a "crisis"? 

As your tax-paying, voting boss, I expect you to work on the holidays when something urgent pops up. That ninety-two per cent of you are taking the day off for Rosh Hashanah, a holiday that is not your own?  Pretty shameless. 

This is a nation where McDonald's is open on Christmas Day, K-mart is open on Thanksgiving, and the Bunny Ranch thrives on the Fourth of July.  If you consider yourself, American, get back to work!
