Congress is back in session, and with it returns the usual back-and-forth on government spending and job creation.

Paul Wharton: @PaulWharton If you’re a model in NYC that’s having trouble making it and you want to be on a new show, submit to Nycmodelshowcasting@gmail.com today…
Paul Wharton’s Next Top Model? We’d watch.
Senator Lisa Murkowski: @lisamurkowski Met with the Service High School Quidditch Club. Inspirational! http://twitpic.com/3rt353

Representative Thaddeus McCotter: @ThadMcCotter More Braking News: RT @DCnewskat: TX Trans Inst: DC drivers spend 70 hrs a year stopped in traffic. #1 in America.

Senator Chuck Grassley: @ChuckGrassley FYI: Nrg = energy
Nothing like an Internet lingo lesson from a 77-year-old.
Representative Jim Himes: @jahimes Visiting senior centers for MLK Day. Rules #1,#2 and #3 for visitors: DO NOT interrupt bingo.
Considering that the real first rule of bingo is that you don’t talk about bingo, that’s probably sound advice.
