Monday, Monday: Can You Trust That Day?
The Mamas and the Papas were the first to warn us about having high hopes on Monday.
"But whenever Monday comes - but whenever Monday comes, You can find me crying all of the time. Monday, Monday, you can't trust that day."
"Monday, Monday" was the Mamas and Papas only No. 1 hit in the U.S.
Now, 47 years later, we place our hopes on Monday. Monday is now the latest, greatest big day in Washington for the 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 farm bill. A pair of top Capitol Hill websites now report House conferees to the farm bill and their congressional staffers are being alerted to a possible agreement that could demand meetings as early as Monday.
CQ Roll Call reported that both Republican and Democratic staffs on the House Agriculture Committee "indicate that the goal is to get the conference report on the floor next week, which would entail the report filed on Monday."
The House will not be in session the latter part of the week.
CQ Roll Call and Politico reported that the memo sent to staffs for House GOP conferees indicates they have to be in town Monday morning for either a full conference meeting or a GOP conference meeting to discuss the farm-bill agreement and collect signatures.
So there you have it.
Other possible Monday music references that may fit the bill: "Blue Monday" by New Order and "Manic Monday" by the Bangles (I was a Susanna Hoffs fan.)
