Congress imitates Futurama


From "Future Stock":
Intercom: "Mr Fry, your 2 o'clock magician is here."
Fry: "Believe it or not, I have more important things to do today than laugh and clap my hands. [Hesitates] Reschedule."

Yeah, don't these people have blatant civil rights violations to filibuster, and judges not to vote on?

"I'm appearing on various news shows like yours to express my outrage about attention-seeking do-nothings like Stephen Colbert and the Democrats.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have important work to get back to. There are 9/11 responders who are dangerously close to having their illnesses covered by a grateful people, unless my colleagues and I vote no. When we said "We can never fully repay our debt to these brave men and women," we were totally serious."

Wait until the Democrats gain control of Congress. THEN you'll see some action!

In fairness to the Republicans, the 9/11 responder sick fund would have cost more than $8 billion! And we cannot afford to spend that kind of money in this economy. We need it to cover one percent of the cost of extending the Bush tax cut for the top earners through 2020.

Because it's all about priorities.
