I saw this on The Onion and thought how it could have been written back in Sept when Congress passed the UIGEA.

Congress Passes Seriously Uncool Legislation

WASHINGTON, DC—In a total buzzkill, the Senate on Friday passed some seriously lame legislation by a vote of 89-7, one week after the House was a complete tool and approved the same stupid bill.

“When we first heard about it, we were like, ‘Come on, how weak is that,’” Cato Institute fellow David Berger wrote in a Monday New York Times op-ed, which encouraged Americans bummed by the vote to contact their representatives and call them on their bullshit. “Why doesn’t Congress get off our backs, man? Those guys used to be pretty chill.”

In response to numerous calls that President Bush veto the shit out of the bill, the White House released a statement urging bros to relax, they totally got this one.
