Congressional Stupidity

Who knew Congress spends some of their time being so lame. For example: everytime anyone wins a national championship, Congress must congratulate them. This might be okay if it was a card or something, but they actually sit there in Washington and vote on a bill on whether to congratulate a team or not. Here's House Resolution 475 passed in 3/9/04: "Congratulating the San Jose Earthquakes for Winning the 2003 Major League Soccer Cup."Whoop-de-dooo! They also have to pass official legislation in order to change the name of a post office: House Resolution 3769: "Ben Atchley Post Office." And to celebrate birthdays: House Resolution 84: "Recognizing the 93rd Birthday of Ronald Reagan." H.R. 492: "Honoring the Contributions of Catholic Schools." Yeah, less birth control, more fantasies of catholic school girls. Go Congress. I could sit here all day and list stupid bills, but I won't. Probably because I've been sitting here all day going through the titles of every bill voted on (not just passed) by the House of Representatives up to 2008. I'm working my way backwards and have finally made it to 2003. Only 2 more years of the Bush Administration to go. Seriously, ridiculous. I am swimming in legislation right now. Bottom line: at least there's stupid shit like, HR 923: "Recognizing the State of Minnesota's 150th Anniversary" to make me chuckle.
