I haven’t written too much about Congress recently. I guess it’s because they haven’t done anything colossally idiotic lately, it is just their routine idiotic. If that is too harsh a term for some of you maybe we could try moronic, imbecilic or just plain stupid. Any of those would serve quite well actually, so go ahead and take your pick.
I guess it’s really hard to top Obamacare for really bad ideas so in comparison to that nobody is really getting too excited recently. But with election season already getting started it is an exciting time for someone who writes humor, not unlike a kid on his first trip to Disneyland. To see a jackass (and I’m not just talking about the democrats now, although they couldn’t have a more fitting symbol) fall on his face, as many politicians do when they are trying to impress the masses, is truly a fun thing.
It’s nice to see that Congress is currently addressing corruption, although if they were really going to get to the heart of the matter they wouldn’t need to look any further than their own halls. It’s hard to imagine how they keep a straight face when they are drilling the executives of Goldman Sachs about their evil ways when they are probably having their assistants take notes to see if they can scrape off any good ideas that they can use for themselves. They probably all go out to dinner afterward and have a good laugh and then charge it to the government.
I live in Nevada where Harry Reid keeps campaigning based on all the jobs he created for the state. Unfortunately, most of any jobs that have been truly created are more government jobs to enforce all the idiotic (there’s that word again, you can fill in any of the substitutes that you want to use again) rules they keep making. Of course, that just costs the taxpayer more money. But, bingo! More jobs created because the fed has to hire more guys to run the printing press to print more money. What a system!
I can just hear Obama speaking to all the democrats in Congress to get them excited about the upcoming elections and trying to inspire them to victories:
Obama: Ask not what your country can do for you… oh wait…that was Kennedy. Who should I be today…Let’s see, well, the Republicans say I’m a Nazi so I definitely don’t want to be like Hitler and make them appear to be right. Gee, I’m kind of stuck, there’s no one here I have to impress to get to vote for me, so for the first time in my life I’m at a loss for words…
Harry Reid: (interrupting) Uh, Sir, I detected very slightly that you were slipping into a Negro dialect. Remember, I said you didn’t have a Negro dialect and that’s what made you electable.
Obama: Elections, elections? Thank you, Harry. You brought me brought me back to reality. My thoughts are all coming into my head again with a violent rush. I feel like I could talk for days. My ability to be a plastic politician has fully returned.
Nancy Pelosi: (interrupting) Sir, before you continue should I kiss your ring, or your foot… or your...
Obama: No, thank you Nancy, not now anyway. You can do your requisite sucking up later on. (Then he continues on blah, blah, blah and everyone is all impressed even though he doesn’t care that he never intends to do anything he is telling them.)
And, so, the beat goes on in Washington and they will continue to do the idiotic (or whatever word you want to substitute) stuff they always do. Unless we get real smart and throw a big tea party on election day. Maybe we can trick the current congressman into joining us. “Ooh, a party!”
