WOW they take vacation and we are in a crisis?????? Don't you think that “The People” is more important than taking off for a week?

Bullshit! This is why BOTH parties should be held accountable! The Repigs are CLEARLY not, and have never been, on the side of the people. That is old news. Democrats PRETEND to be on the people's side, but refuse to budge for the better benefit of the cause (crisis) at hand, that they claim to be “committed to.” They, too, could have bitten the big one and accepted the two months offered, if they did actually give a shit, giving the people being thrown on the streets and unable to feed their children, some time until they can figure out their lame political games. They did not. They (Democrats) just as thoughtlessly skipped town as the Repigs, to their multi-million homes, or vacation homes, to get a couple weeks of R&R, on the taxpayers dime, while families face some of the most dire situations they ever have. This country is an ABSOLUTE joke, we live in a corporate-ruled oligarchy, far from the fairy-tale democracy they would like us to believe. For the sake of restoring any facet of what was once a great nation, VOTE THIRD PARTY!!!

This is immoral while millions of people are suffering with each passing day the senate takes a vacation! What about me and my family? What about the families in Michigan, California, and all across the country. DO WE NOT MATTER!!! But no by all means take ur little rich asses on a recess while millions of homes fall apart! I mean this is America the greediest country in the world! Shame on all of you! I honestly don't know how any of you can live with yourselves after doing this to so many people! PATHETIC

They just make me sick, they don't care at all. This is effecting not just the people who get those checks but it trickles down the their families, their children. I'm just disgusted. And we put these people in office!

On vacation good lord, a vacation while people of the nation you are elected to represent are worried about how they are going to pay bills and feed their family. Just makes you want to cry

VACATION? I need a vacation too after all this B.S. that has been going on for a month now! They left for their Memorial Day holiday leaving us hanging and now they go off again for the 4th of July doing the same. Where are their priorities? Not us the unemployed Americans that's for sure! Well I am sure they will all have a nice, relaxing, worry-free time off while the rest of us suffer, worry, and wonder how to pay the rent, utilities, food, etc. All just out for themselves and screw the over one million unemployed cut off from benefits. I don't know how they get away with it, but man I wouldn't mind having a job like that with all the perks and time off!

all the government cares about is themselves. they are spoiled pigs, all of them.
and when it comes time for their re election the ones that are holding out on a yes vote, will find their little heads on a chopping block.

Wow a vacation until July 12, must be nice. Haven't had a check here for 4 weeks, only was on lst tier, can't pay rent, utilities, drive a car…no gas and can't buy food. It might not seem like a long time for the Senators, but to the Americans who's unemployed it will seem like a lifetime. Forget about celebrating the 4th of July, what's there to celebrate? People that don't care about human beings that are only trying to survive! BREAKING NEWS ALL THE UNEMPLOYED ARE INVITED TO THE REPUBLICAN SENATORS FOR A FOURTH OF JULY PICNIC! NOT!! THEY ARE ABOVE US! LOL

I hope they enjoy their vacation because while they,re lighting off fireworks and eating good meals, some people are sleeping on the street and going hungry. How can some people sleep at night. Oh, I forgot their politician.

I am so done with this goverment now! I thought they really cared but they dont. Why didnt the President or Pelosi or Reid cancel the vacation until this was passed???????????I bet if it was to vote themselves a raise they would stay! Im done- im depressed enough and have prayed on this for so long.
No one who could do something will step up. The President could step up and make them stay and work on this or he can do something?????????????????

The house voted it in again today but alot of the Senators had already left for the 4th weekend so could not be done in the Senate today. It is as plain as the nose on their faces they do NOT work for us!! Obama was going to Camp David then back to Washington for fireworks I truly hope his kids enjoy it. Obama is as much to blame and this week end I am sending a letter to the white house in hopes he is read or is told what i think of him and his POSSEE!! So sad they would do this but look at how people got done when Katrina hit they are either just PLAIN stupid or some one is getting huge dollars to do what they are doing..I find it so hard to believe they talk about the debt our children will have so how come they dont care if they eat or have a place to live NOW!!

I am not really in a festive July 4th mood this year seeing as how I will be spending the “holiday” wondering what my family is going to live off of this month.

It is the first time in my 31 years as an American I am to ashamed to celebrate the USA. Thanks for letting our financial ability to survive slip throgh the cracks while you guys argue about it! Look I “get” that there are a lot of issues that need addressing at the moment…but 1,000,000 unemployed workers most of which have already depleated any savings, back-up plans, pounded the pavement, maybe even relocated completely in search of jobs that are FAR too few in supply to help the majority is something that needs to be addressed timely. If not during a huge recession then when?

I support my polititians, I support my party, I vote and I am a hard-working citizen who doesn't even complain about paying my taxes. I need help. Please help me now.

I think Obama is in charge of what will be one of the slowest responding administrations in US history. Enjoy your holiday president. Don't mind that 1,000,000 jobless, practically hopeless Americans will not be celebrating.

If your family was in need I would hope that someone would see to it to address it timely. It isn't like this issue came as a surprise to anyone. I am so frustrated that our government is taking their time on this one.

well while they are enjoying there vacation for a week, another persons home goes to forclosure, more people's credit is ruined and employers dont care, credit should not be an issue for employment, things do happen to the best of people and now more than ever credit should not be part of a job. A child or grandchild is going hungry now and sleeping on the street, because their family is not working. I am sick. I have worked all my life and I get nothing. Senate needs to come back tomorrow and pass this thing. NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would not hurt the Senate to come back and help the American people. The 4th is Sunday and what do many americans have to celebrate, oh yeah no home no food, not happy at all

If the house stayed long enough to get the bill passed then the Senate needs to come back tomorrow pass it and Obama needs to sign it. Lets get it done so we can celebrate a little with a peanut butter sandwich, I cannot afford the jelly

I was ending first tier when unemployment ceased which happened to be on my twins day of birth. Things have been pretty stressful, so glad congress is taking their jolly good ol' time! I guess everyone in this world is just concerned with Lebron James, Fireworks and the oil spill.

the republicans first sent our jobs overseas. what little there was left the illegals took and now they want to cut off our unemployment benefits! i will remember to put the republican's heads on the chopping block come election time. you are a lousy bunch and poor excuses for representatives of the people of America.

As an employer, I support any refusal to pass unemployment extensions. I find it unacceptable that lazy people (unemployed) are being rewarded for refusing to secure a job. I'm hiring, but I tell you what: my company rejects any applications from people who are unemployed. http://www.nightshad.com/blog/2010/06/29/how-ab…

First of all how is being unemployed lazy and second if the unemployed are so lazy why are they applying for jobs within your company or any company. Just remember karma is a bitch. What goes around comes around. I hope you find your self in the same situation that millions of us lazy unemployed Americans are in and you are refused the help of our government. Maybe then you will think before judging others for their hardships.

your a stupid hillbilly thats out of touch with society and ythink all unemployed people are minorities newsflash alot of unemployed people are stupid honkys such as yourself

Hey Mike, have you gandered at the unemployment numbers lately? The likes our nation hasn't seen for decades. Have you taken any notice to statistical data, estimating one job per 6-15 applicants (depending on source). Clearly you are not an “over-qualified” job-seeker, so you would know little about being turned down for entry level positions for less qualified appicants. The level of stereotyping and judgement that you display can be equated the same dangerous ideals that encompass racism. I suppose you will not hire an Arab American either, because your reps have programmed you into believing that they are all the “bad guys,” due to actions of a select few. Your complete lack of contempt for the victims of the economic crash does enough to define the ignorance of your character. If you want to point fingers, place blame, and judge millions of people you know nothing about, perhaps that finger should be aimed at Wall Street or Capital Hill, as they created the mess that millions of American's continue to pay for, in more ways than one. Did you support the multi-billion dollar bailouts, the recent passage of a $636 billion 2011 defense spending bill, or $4.6 billion bill recently passed to supplement congress, including pay raises for staffers? This issue does not personally effect me, but does a family member of mine, and I, unlike yourself, and not so ignorant and brainwashed to see the hyposcrisy written all over Capital halls. With the steadily deflating dollar and inflating costs of living, UI, for most families, barely provides for basic needs. They are hardly smooth sailing and living it up. Perhaps you have mistaken them with career welfare recipients, who were not affected by the economic collapse (through no fault of their own), and who still are better off that many people recieving UI, because of all of the other supplements that they recieve, which many people on UI cannot, i.e. housing benefits, medical and drug coverage, food stamps, etc.. It is folks like you that bring me shame for this country.

Very well said.

@ Mike from NSP hey man go and Fu'k yourself! It is people with attitudes like you that make it almost impossible to secure a good, full-time and rewarding job! Are you a hiring manager or just a peon who is expressing you're own opinion? Walk in my shoes for a day guy! Bet you couldn't handle it…LAZY right…LOL!

hey Mike from NSP. you make me laugh Ahole!

http://www.nightshad.com/about/corp/jobs/

He really does have that listed, as you can see. I know that as a consumer, I would not do business with a company that would publish something like that. I'd be concerned that my existing or future clients might see it, and either leave or not hire me.

At the bottom of the page is this: “Nightshadow Productions, LLC is an equal-opportunity employer, and does not officially or otherwise discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, gender, marital status, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or any other legally protected class.”

Apparently he only discriminates against the unemployed because they are not a legally protected class, and I suppose that's his right. Personally, i don't think he pays well enough to be really upset about it. :)

I think Mike from NSP aka Nightshadow Productions, is a guy by the name of Michael Crook. Google him. Either that or he just hosts Michael Crook's domain, which is bad enough.
If it is Michael Crook, Hannity did a nice job of spanking you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQa8G3336fQ and your apology here is priceless: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8srbIeV4B4

Mike there is really Stupid people in this world.. Your a class act who in the hell would Want to work for YOU? I have worked since i was 15 i never once needed unemployment till March 09 when the automotive company dowsized so please do not call me lazy. I worked there for 29 years and NEVER once MISSED a day so lazy I am NOT . It is people like you with brains as big as their dicks more then likely because the biggest thing on YOU is your mouth.

Mike, it's employers like you that are part of the problem… I am a recruiter so I have first hand knowledge of ignorant hirning managers like yourself. So on the one hand, you call unemployed people lazy… yet if they have ANY unemployment gaps at all on their resume, you will not consider hiring them? Think about what you are saying, if you have a brain, you will figure out how ignorant you sound.

Very Well Put!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you sound ridiculous and so does your company dumb ass a lot of good people are unemployed i hope nobody hires you when your looking for work jerk

I went on his web page and under employment opportunities this is what it actually said.

We're hiring! Unemployed applicants need not apply. Those who want to work only.

Who would do business with these assess.

Who is he hiring ? the already employed. How did he get in a position to be able to hire anybody anyway.

I am sure he must own the company otherwise his employer is as stupid as he is just by hiring someone like him that by saying such a statement can jeopardize his clientele.

Mike I pray that God blesses you the way you should be blessed. After all an the end of the day he is judge and jury.

I cannot believe it. Easter holiday, they made people wait, then Memorial Day Holiday, and now Independence day. All three holidays had this issue up for approval, and were held up until the old farts got back from their “Holidays” getting fat. This makes me “asshamed” of my congress. I bet they will have their meals this week. Shame on you Congress, taking so long to help your fellow Americans. To collect unemployment means a person had to work, and pay taxes to qualify. They had jobs and only get a portion of what they earned. It's not charity. Welfare is, and will be the next step for all those unemployed WORKERS. Cut all the multiple vacations out for Congress so this country can be run on a timely manner!!! And STOP bickering just because you are a twO party system. Stop the internal WARS.

WHAT A JOKER YOU ARE….I BET IF YOU OWN YOUR OWN BUSINESS YOU GOT A LOAN FROM THE GOVERNMENT WE HAD TO WORK TO QUALIFY FOR THE BENEFITS STUPID!!!

I went to this Mi'kes website and left a comment. His paragrah written on it is very unprofessional and it must be a rinky dinky company. Probably got a small business loan from the USA to start it. He doesn't understand what is really going on with the economy and unemployment. He will eat his words someday. I wouldn'[t want to work for him.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE TO SELFER CAUSE SOMEONE PUT US IN THIS F—-IN MESS AND IT WASN;T US AND IT WASN,T OBAMA YOU ALL NEED TO STOP THINKING ABOUT YOUR SELFS AND WORK REALLY HARD TO TO FIND AWAY TO GET US OUT OF THIS MESS IF YOUR BRAIN ARENT WORKIN TO FIX THE PROBLEM ASK THE PEOPLE A THOUSAND OF YOU TO A MILLION OF US IN GOD WE TRUST SO HELP US GOD

“Mike” is Michael Crook, the “Forsake The Troops” guy. He spits on people's graves, laughs at dead cops and missing teens and mocks people who died in accidents. He doesn't employ anyone, his “company” is a fantasy.

how can the senators go on a f'ing vacation when they know that the deadline for the unemployment extensions has run out. Get your butts back and pass this bill. 3 times they rejected it!!! the last time by 1 vote (jackass Scott Brown, MA)!! 1.3 million lost their benefits this week, 30000 in massachusetts alone. In ONE week!!! Familys are getting thrown to the streets, little kids have nothing to eat??!! How could YOU Scott Brown & senate. OHHH trust me, you will see criminal activities increase, b/c people WILL get THEIR money this week. Whether THEY have to steal, rob, or beat it out of someone. (Scott Brown) Good luck explaining the rise in violent crimes in massachusetts Mr Brown. Oh yeah, where is scott brown vacationing this week??!! If you know please post!!!!
Mad as Hell at my Senator

“Mike” aka Michael Crook, Mike Delaney-Vogel: some background. His last blog was devoted to gloating about how he was shaking down a small local community college with a bogus sexual discrimination suit. His blog prior to that was mainly devoted to mocking missing, injured or killed teen girls, he'd post pictures of teen female accident victims taken from their Myspace pages and speculate on their sex lives. He was particularly obsessed with a missing Rochester, NY girl, he posted her pictures all over his blog, speculated on her sex life, mocked her parents and friends and wrote a lengthy piece of fiction where he imagined raping and killing her. This was all relatively recent, within the last few years. Before that, he (among other things) bragged about standing idle while he watched an injured motorcycle rider die, he created a website called “Forsake The Troops” and filmed himself drooling on veteran's grave sites, he pretended to be a female looking for sex then tried to blackmail the men who responded, he mocked dead policemen and their widows and did whatever he could to be an annoying, hateful troll who got his kicks by offending and annoying anyone and everyone he could.

So I wouldn't take anything he has to say seriously on any level. Any legitimate company that would do business with Mike Crook has got to be one sorry outfit. He doesn't employ anyone and never will; this venture, just like all his other idiotic blogs, will soon vanish without a trace and be replaced with something equally stupid. Please do not feed the troll.

The full Michael Crook story is right here in all its glory….

This is the brain-trust behind “Nightshadow Productions LLC”, just the guy you want writing your company blog.

I am disgusted that the people we elected to serve the people did not pass the unemployment extensions before they went on vacation. I have been employed with my company for 22 years & am thankful for that. The Senators needs to realize that the extensions need to be passed. We have family members that are unemployed, looking for work, these are not deadbeat people. family members have to help with the unemployed family members with their house notes, utilities, doctor bills etc etc. Then in turn with those members of the families working are falling behind on their bills due to helping other members of the family that do not have any income. Not passing this bill is not only detriminal to the unemployed but to those other family members that are working. This country is headed for socialism and we need to stop it when November comes around. We need to ensure that we are placing people in office that believe in GOD and willing to stand up for God and the citizens of the United States. Our government is to protect us and have not performed that task too well. I cant wait for election day!!!

you are the PROBLEM.DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT ONCE UPON ATIME YOU WERE UNEMPLOYED TOO.THAT IS UNLESS YOE CAME OUT OF YOUR MOTHERS WOMB WITH A JOB.THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE THAT LOST THEIR JOBS THRU NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN,I WILL LMFAO WHEN YOUR SO CALLED COMPANY GOES BUST WITH YOU ALONG WITH IT.

I TOO PRAY FOR HIM

Oh golly, Michael Crook of Nightshadow Productions, employer of exactly one person, won't hire the unemployed. If you live near Galloway NJ and don't have a job, poor poor you. You'll never get to spend the day with a guy who establishes internet domain names using the names of kids who die, fills the page with vicious nasty insults about the person then claims to be from Nightshadow Productions and offers to purchase the domain and take the page down for a fee. That is correct, he cons the family and friends of dead teens to make a few dollars for himself. Who wouldn't want to work for him?

We need more Senators like Jack Reed Democrat RI. He actually works for the people he represents. His Staff in RI and Washington actually know whats going on and they're very helpful. W

Actually, his company does employee at least one person that I know of beyond him. I interviewed for a position, but true to his word, when he found out I was unemployed, the interview was over just like that. He doesn't understand. He just doesn't get it.

To me, none of that matters…that's his personal life. Yes, it's offensive, but I still posted for a job at the company..and just as he promised, unemployed people are not welcome.

I can confirm that he does employ at least one person, but I can from personal experience confirm that he is true to his word in that unemployed joes aren't welcome at his outfit.

Sure you did, Michael, sure you did.

Yeah right. What “position” was that? Where did the interview take place, in Michael's PO box at the UPS store?

Mike Crook employs one person….Mike Crook. Right, Mike?

Mike form NSP employs no one. Mike is actually noted hate-blogger Michael Crook, he of “Forsake The Troops” fame. He was canned from his last real job for being his obnoxious self, then he tried to shake his former employer down with a bogus lawsuit. It didn't work out like he planned, so he's now pretending to be a “businessman”. You would have to be completely insane to give this guy your personal information, he WILL use it to exploit and/or extort you. Ignore the troll.

I'm definitely not Mike, and the interview most certainly did not take place anywhere near a UPS Store of all places.

Actually, self-employment doesn't qualify as being an employee. There is an Operations Manager, Beth, who is employed there.

Yes Mike, and she is Mrs. Crook, correct?

No doubt in a posh, modern office, of course. Uh….huh.

“James” and “Mike from NSP” are both Michael Crook.

For those of you not in the know, Mikey-Poo is a MASSIVE loser who;

failed Army BCT,

was verbally sodomized nationwide by Sean Hannity,

filed numerous false DMCA’s, was dragged through the court system and had to apologize to the entire internet.

ran a business into the ground,

divorced three times in less than a decade (while paying no child support-a jailable offense in NJ),

sued a community college for sexual harassment (lost that one too),

hates gays, but admitted to loving gay sex,

and at one time was living out of his car.

He’s angry because no one’s giving him attention anymore. His website gets hits in the single digits-PER MONTH. He’s a Mormon drama queen who couldn’t sucessfully run a mop and bucket, let alone a business. Ignore that creep, he’s going nowhere in record time. I’ll expect to see him rifling through trash cans at the casinos for food sometime soon.
