I thought I’d point out some of the important business being addressed in Congress these days – in-between trying to cripple our economy and infringing our liberty with things like government-run healthcare and C(r)ap & trade, of course.

Well, I don’t know about you but I’m impressed. I mean, how could we function as a society if not for Congress tackling such vital issues like promoting a National Animal Rescue Day?

Good to see we have loose change for this but can’t spare a dime for our military or defense.
It’s also good to see these people have time for all this meaningless crap but don’t have time to read a bill that threatens 1/6th of our economy. Fascinating, isn’t it?
