Democrats Take House, Senate Undecided

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-not-officially-anyway dept.

Every news publication on earth is saying mostly the same thing. The Democrats have taken the house picking up a sizable number of seats. But the Senate remains a tossup with a few undecided seats holding the balance. Concerns of voter fraud have been heard from around the nation as well.

    we'd be better off relying on strange women lying in ponds distributing swords as a basis for a system of government.

    How many times do I have to say this?

    Ahem...
    strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is NO basis for a system of government.

    You cannot just call yourself Senator just because some watery tart tossed a sword at you.

    I mean, if I went round, calling myself Congressman, just because some moistened bink lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

    The one thing that will certainly happen though, is a minimum wage increase. Most republicans will not dare to vote against that

    They'll go along with a minimum wage increase, but the president will add a signing statement:

    "Within the context of this statute, the term 'Dollar' shall defined to be equal to 68 cents."

    More likely the President tells the Congrssional leadership what he wants and they write the desired laws. Imagine how much editing would be required if Bush wrote the legislation himself!

    Didn't you get that memo? The one they passed around 15 years ago?

    There's still a 30-year moratorium on Monty Python sketch recital. It's been observed to cause virginity.

    There's an old saying that says, if you want to get out of a hole, the first thing you've got to do is stop digging.

    No, no, no, dig up stupid.
