Congress hands out a Christmas present...

Just when you think you have seen it all. There are so many issues facing this country right now so what is occupying our wonderful House of Representatives? How about a vote on Christmas and Christians. What surprises me is more Democrats voted for this than Republicans. Is this the Democrats way to reach out to the religious right? The majority of us already get the day off already. Do we really need to waste Congress's time with such a stupid resolution? Apparently we do...

Our Clueless Congress...

As if our congressmen have nothing better to do with their time. Global warming? Iraq? Economy? No, let's punish poor kids trying to go to college. And this came from the Democrats. The bill will tie financial aid funding to Universities that impose stiff penalties for file sharing and to Universities that subsidize subscriptions to DRM-based music services. Why don't they just admit they are so in bed with the music and movie lobbies that instead of actually doing something productive they waste time on things like this. As if college students won't be able to get around this anyway. The traditional music and movie distribution system is dead. Anyone with half a brain already knows it. Let's move on and worry about more important things. And Politicians wonder why they are so reviled...

Our Congress...

Doesn't this make you happy knowing these are the people who are representing us...

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has
the following statistics:

- 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
- 7 have been arrested for fraud
- 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
- 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
- 3 have done time for assault
- 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
- 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
- 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
- 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits

- 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?

Give up yet?

It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.
