(2009-06-27) — Senate Republicans today introduced an “innovative alternative” to the 1,300-page cap-and-trade climate change bill which passed the House 219-212 virtually-unread Friday night as the nation sat transfixed by wall-to-wall coverage of the death of an iconic pop singer.
Supporters said the GOP-sponsored ‘Michael Jackson Energy Act’ will clear away a raft of environmental regulations that currently discourage construction of nuclear power plants, and will spark energy independence while reducing emissions of so-called greenhouse gases.
The 1,897-page Michael Jackson Energy bill includes more than a thousand pages of uninformed speculation about the cause of the performer’s death, gossip about the nature of his relationships with various adults and children, along with sweeping statements about his impact on the history of the world.
The bill includes a DVD tribute to Mr. Jackson, as well as dozens of before-and-after photos of his various bouts with cosmetic surgery. In addition, to a full-length foldout ‘Thriller’ poster, the bill contains several pages of language removing government-imposed barriers to the growth of a thriving private-sector nuclear energy industry.
“Although the substantive bipartisan opposition to the House cap-and-trade bill failed to capture the nation’s attention,” said Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-KY, “we’ve learned from our mistakes, and know how to present our alternative legislation in a way that will matter to the mainstream media.”
good one!
The sad part is that this is actually TRUE of the real bill regarding the causes of global wanking warming.
great satire but pathetically true about the mainstream media. They practically pee’d their pants over this MJ coverage.
Funny, though not one of his best.
I love that and it was very true,. The state run media all over a dead guy, not what is going to destroy those who remain.
unfortunately this is too close to the truth to be funny...
(ok no, it’s still pretty funny)
Sorry, I think you picked the WRONG TARGET!
THE U.S. SENATE INSTEAD SHOULD HONOR MICHAEL JACKSON
BY NAMING THE PEDOPHILE PROTECTION ACT AFTER HIM!
because it’s BAD...
so BAD!
It’s really, really BAD....
scrapple face is funny to be sure -
but i’d like the republicans to offer an alternative plan for real.
drill now plus nukes all around.
As the late Michael Jackson and Sir Elton John titled their new album, “Don’t let you sun go down on me”!
