Perhaps the daily grind of being a chronic moron, and having to Live Up to ‘Jesse’s Legacy’ is just too much for the poor guy. He’s just Necked Out/filled to the brim.
Do I spy a Baby Mama, hereabouts?
BOLO for that one, guys…….

Jbird, laws??? I’m sure that Congress has exempted themselves from that particular legislation, as they always do.

I believe that according to the law, I (and JJ Jr.) don’t have to share with my employer why I’m taking medical leave, but if he/she asks me to, I do have to provide documentation from a physician that I am suffering from an (unspecified) medical condition that requires that I take leave. After my paid leave is exhausted, I can continue on unpaid medical leave for a time (12 weeks?). That’s my understanding of FMLA anyway.

Do Congressmen & women get paid leave or do they just come and go as they please? Seems a tad unfair that as a taxpayer that I would have to pay an elected official who is missing in-session time whether they are sick, on vacation, or running for another office no matter how much time they miss.

As Monty Python said in “Life of Brian”…..Always look at the bright side…” He’s NOT voting on laws that affect you, at least for now.
