What's Congress up to? 114th Congress edition, volume 1

Today is the new 114th Congress' second day on the job.  As you know, the mid-term elections improved the Republican's majority in the House, and gave them the majority in the Senate.  Just in case it hasn't been made clear this is NOT my preferred state of affairs.

Yesterday, Congress did a lot of procedural stuff, like re-electing John Boehner Speaker of the House.  But today, all the bills sponsored by the new members of Congress have appeared on congress.gov.  The full text of the bills is not yet available (gotta give them time, there's 239 bills to input), but the titles and numbers are all available. Today, I just want to point out the titles of a few of these bills, so you can see what kind of things your elected reps are pushing.
