The press coverage of the Congressional impasse seemed to say that among the reasons for the delay in coming to a resolution was Rosh Hashanah.

That ought to be ridiculous. There's no reason why Jewish Members of Congress couldn't arrange for a vatikin service at sunrise, be done by 9:30am, and get to work.

The WSJ used to be fairly reliable, but now that Rupert Murdoch owns them I have my doubts. I have other reasons to believe the NY Times is clueless about Washington.

In general, I think the Washington Post and the Christian Science Monitor are usually more clueful about basic civics.
