Congressional Priorities

Even as the American civilization continues its entropic decline into history’s black hole — with its rampant warmongering, economic collapse, torture, and assassination as presidential prerogatives, and draconian police-state practices to keep everyone involved — it’s encouraging to know that Congress is managing to maintain its priorities. Legislation to criminalize the sexual abuse of children — I am surprised that no one ever got around to wanting to punish that! — followed by today’s big debate: In evaluating the school-lunch programs, should tomato sauce on pizza be defined as a vegetable or not? I thought the framers of the Constitution already answered that question! If not, wasn’t that a central issue in the Civil War (with southern agricultural states insisting “yes,” while northern industrial states said “no”?

One of the cable news channels now informs me that, when the tomato sauce question gets resolved, a special subcommittee will take up the weightier issue of who will be on this week’s “Dancing With the Stars.” Wheeeeee! I’ll bet the lemmings never had this much fun!
