WEDNESDAY: Weather or not you like it.

Snow continues to hammer the East Coast, forcing the House of Representatives to head home early and emboldening the spirits of global warming deniers. Republicans officials, accused of employing obstructionist tactics to smear the image of Democratic lawmakers make them appear ineffective, are being investigated as to the nature of their relationship to the blizzard.

Chicago felt early morning tremors from a 3.8 magnitude earthquake that hit around 50 miles northwest of the city around 4am. As the Midwest also continues to get pummeled by snowfall, hundreds of flights have been canceled both in and out of the area as the hell of places like O'Hare International Airport had frozen over and the pigs intended to fly the planes simply stayed home.

On the Hill, lawmakers and aides who remained at work have been rushing to Republican chambers to thaw out or stay warm, basking in the abundance of hot air.
