Pelosi Delays Stimulus Package Until Her New Souvenir Pens Come In

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Earlier today, lawmakers had announced they had reached an agreement on a stimulus package, totalling approximately $88 bajillion dollars. (Many expressed concern that we would have to pay this back at some point, but congresspeople assured their constituents that it's just their kids and grandkids who will have to pay for our reckless spending.)

But in a last-minute delay, Pelosi announced that she is out of souvenir pens to sign the bill and send it over to the president. "This is a somber emergency, of course, but it's important that I have a bunch of souvenirs to hand out to supporters, so I can remind everyone that I saved the economy."

"Once my souvenir pens come in, I'll sign our version so we can make this thing law," Pelosi said. "They're on backorder for the next 6-8 weeks, so just hang in there, America."

At publishing time, sources had confirmed the pens are coming from China, further delaying the passing of the stimulus bill.

LOL!!! Another good one from Babylonbee. Thinking back on other times the Democrats have held Bills hostage, I remembered what they did after 9/11, did a search, and found this:

Homeland Security Bill Held Hostage

This Bill was held up because Democrats put Unions before the lives of Americans:

Excerpts:

"The president is adamant he must have the authority to change work rules to make the new homeland security department work efficiently, and Senate Republicans won't allow a final vote on a bill that doesn't have that in it.

Democrats, closely allied with public workers unions, say they won't let those unions be sacrificed in the name of homeland security."

It’s as reasonable as any reason she’ll give.
