Reply #58: The Bill [View All]

[phasma ex machina]

In the beginning was the Bill.

And then came the Assumptions.

And the Assumptions were without form.

And darkness was upon the face of the Tea Baggers.

And they spoke among themselves, saying, "It is a crock of shit, and it stinketh."

And the Tea Baggers went unto Left Baggers and said, "It is a pail of dung, and none may abide the odour thereof."

And the Left Baggers went unto their Representatives, saying, "It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it."

And the Representatives went unto their Senators, saying, "It is a vessel of fertiliser, and none may abide its strength."

And the Senators spoke amongst themselves, saying one to another, "It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong."

And the Senators then went onto the Vice President, saying unto them, "It promotes growth and is very powerful."

And the Vice President went unto the President, saying unto him, "This new bill will actively promote the growth and vigour of the country; with powerful effects."

And the President looked upon the Bill, and saw that it was good.

And the Bill became Law.

This is How Shit Happens.
