I had to get to the bottom of this and look what I found:

Contrary to an Internet report, Republicans in the House of Representatives appear to have asked for a day off less than one week into the 110th Congress, RAW STORY has learned. The Democratic leadership consented, and no action is scheduled on the House floor today.

Congress will not meet today to begin the official "100 hours" agenda of the Democratic Members due to a request put in to the Democratic Leadership by Rep. John Boehner, the Republican Minority Leader in the House of Representatives.

"Mr. Boehner made this request, and in the interest of comity, Democrats granted it," a senior Democratic aide told RAW STORY. The Raw Story | Drudge blamed Dems for 'day off for football' but '100 hours' agenda delay said to be due to GOP request

I just can't wait to hear what Varus will say about this now. HAHAHA!
