To-do list aside, Congress tackles Confucius, National Pi Day
(CNN) -- It was supposed to be an aggressive agenda -- an agenda of change, some promised -- intended to right the economy, overhaul health care and reform immigration policy.
Declaring National Pi Day and honoring Confucius' birthday, then, might seem like odd tasks for the 111th Congress.
While lawmakers continue to wrangle over the hot-button issues expected to dominate this session's legislative agenda, pet resolutions known as "commemoratives" have seen greater success navigating the House and Senate.
On the other hand, when they're "debating" picayune details like the above, they're not raising my taxes, curtailing my freedom, or growing the Federal government at an unprecedented rate. So bring on the "National Toothbrush Awareness Day" and "Appreciation of Natural Mouth Flora" week. If it keeps these flounders from screwing with the Constitution, I'm all for it.
Anything that keeps these clowns away from doing anything serious is good in my book...
That is all.

.....just be thankful we don't get all the Government we pay for.

Yes, but let us never forget that all sorts of dreadfully dangerous cripe might be added as a rider or amendment to that National Toothbrush Day.
Added, I might add, at 2200 the night before voting.
Bittersweet, I suppose, that we're still paying these morons to do it. Well, it's a damn shame we're paying them at all, but I am glad they aren't doing anything "constructive" (wink-wink) with their/our time.
