Interesting headline at Yahoo News: “Congress recesses amid Democratic achievements“.
And you thought they were a do-nothing Congress.
Let’s take a look at what they’ve accomplished:
- Supported the troops in Iraq… well, the ones fighting for Al Qaeda, anyway.
- Promoted alternative energy programs, like Iranian nuke plants.
- Fought global warming by jetting around the country in private planes, talking about what a menace SUV’s are.
- Set a record for Congressional approval ratings. It may be a record low, but it’s still a record. Don’t be so judgmental!
- Made Grandmotherly cleavage fashionable again.
- Making the rich pay their fair share by raising the minimum wage high enough to price low-skilled teenagers out of the job market.
- Yeah, I’m not really sure how that one works, either.
- Suckered a lot of gullible Americans into believing that the phrase “we can’t win” is more applicable to Iraq than Democrats.
- Kept Republicans from making criminals out of people who break immigration laws.
- Created the most ethical Congress in history by requiring that all illicit funds kept in home freezers be labeled “meatloaf” instead of “bribes”, thus thwarting investigators… unless they like meatloaf.
- Drank Ted Kennedy under the table (Ted Kennedy only).
Hopefully when they get back in a month, they’ll start working on what America REALLY wants:
More tax cuts & dead terrorists.
“…democratic achievements” is an obvious oxymoron.
If by “table” you mean lake, and by “drank” you mean drove a car into…
“…raising the minimum wage high enough to price low-skilled teenagers out of the job market.”
You know, in Japan there is no minimum wage. As a result there are lots of young people learning early about work ethics, rewards, and getting along with others in the workplace. Sure, they can’t support a family on what they take home, but they’re getting a good head start for the future.
Fact: Japan has no minimum wage
Fact: Japan had two nuclear weapons used against it
Are you implying that’s what you want for America?
/nutroots logic
Democrats mis-announcing the total for a vote and saying a measure that passed failed is an achievement?
Pelosi and Clinton are ruining the good name of cleavage!
They’ll just give us more tax increase and white flags for our soldiers. They might look like stylish hankies, but hankies don’t come with little poles to waive them on.
Didn’t they also prove that transparent means opaque and honest means criminal?
