I agree with the Democrats looking better (so far) when compared to the work habits of the Republican-controlled Congress. I admit I'm disappointed in the amount of time the 110th Congress has spent on the job, but on the other hand, they have actually done a lot of work in the hours in which they have been in session. Some people may not like the work they've done, but by and large I'm pleased.

That the Democrats have not yet achieved the lofty (for Congress, anyway) goal of consistently working a 5-day workweek is undeniable. But it's better to see the leadership in Congress aim high and fail, and still get a lot of work done, than to never try at all.
