    I take exception to the suggestion that our Congressmen are actually involved in writing legislation.

    Legislative aides and lobbyists write the bills. Our congresscritters' primary duty is to OK the press release.

    Yes, the fact that employees of Congressional committees are specifically exempted from healthcare reform likely indicates who wrote it.

    And this is one of Bok's better efforts.

    The officer could have ticketed him for improper "turn single". There was an officer where I live, that did that to a guy that flipped him off as he was pulling away.

    Not terrible.

    Actually both understood what they were doing, the securities were sold under the understanding that the people trading would get huge salaries and bonuses, while the government bills were written under the understanding that the politicians would get lots of donations and other considerations in return for his support. Both also had the understanding that they were “too big to fail” so they would not suffer any major consequences for their action.

    I concur with the assessment of my esteemed colleague, Xeones.

  • cynical| |

    Wait, that was kind of funny. What the hell is going on here?

  • Mike Laursen| |

    I know. The Friday Funny was actually funny! My world is turned upside down. Can't tell black from white. Night from day. Don't know what's real anymore.

    "Can't tell black from white"

    RACIST!

    I dunno, I thought it was weak. But on a relative basis - one thumb up!

  • Jamie Kelly| |

    Better than "Mallard." Then again, a shit sandwich is better than "Mallard."

    Having your thumbs cut off with rusty tin snips is better than Mallard.

    First one of these since I started visiting this site in December or so that I found amusing.

    Something is wrong. It was funny.

    The congressman should really be saying "I pass bills no-one understands, including me!"- since none of the SOB's usually read anything they vote on!
