WASHINGTON, D.C. — There are moments in history when our nation's elected leaders have had to truly prove their worth during trying times. Today, just such a moment occurred, when members of Congress somberly paused sending all of our tax dollars to Ukraine so they could send them to Silicon Valley Bank instead.
"Think of the poor billionaire tech entrepreneurs," said one member of Congress while replacing his lapel's Ukraine pin with a Google logo pin. "We ask that our brothers-in-arms at Lockheed-Martin bear with us until we push this tax hike through while acting like we don't want to push it through."
Mainstream media criticized the move to bail out an industry rife with corruption and waste, arguing American taxpayer dollars could be better spent on NPR payroll, spying on parents, an illegal immigrant tram, gain-of-function research into Ebola, or Ukraine.
At publishing time, the first bailout check had arrived at the office of newly-hired Big Tech CEO Volodymyr Zelensky.
And in the midst of these bailouts, waiting on the next doom and gloom report on Social Security’s inevitable collapse. Anyone going to insure that all of SS’s depositors are made whole?
Does not do much for me to complain.
Their State voters keep electing them.

Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
Hysteric.] (Med.)
A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
paroxism or fits.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
throat. The affection presents the most varied
symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
alone. Hysteric
