Bless these humble servants, for all the hardships they endure, and the sacrifices they make, in their patriotic service to the country. {sniff, sniff, sniff}

(BTW, what's that stench?)

There's a bill circulating around Congress called the Enumerated Powers Act. This bill, if it became law, would require bill sponsors to cite the section of our Constitution which authorizes or legitimizes their legislation. The Constitution does, after all, specifically set the powers of the federal government, reserving all other power and authority to the people and the states.

Now, there's an appropriations bill out there which includes a half-million-dollar allocation for federal research into how to remove the stink from pig poop. Wouldn't you love to see the congressman who put that appropriations request in the hopper cite the section of our Constitution that sets forth removing the stench from pig crap as a legitimate function of the federal government?...

"CONGRESS MIRED DOWN IN PIG SHIT"

No matter. When the debate moves to considering paying more to the thiefs because it will attract better congresscritters we've lost all hope.

It still amazes me to see people talk about our money being confiscated at gunpoint to support more theft by "better" politicians. Truly a fascinating twist of logic.

Davey Crockett would have a heart attack if he heard this exchange.

"....would require bill sponsors to cite the section of our Constitution which authorizes or legitimizes their legislation."

Wish it would pass....but then the members of Congress would have to read the Constitution (something I'm sure most have NOT done)...and then they would want another raise.
