At least the President is getting a Yacht.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Congress on Saturday passed a $388 billion package financing government programs in this fiscal year after days of tough talks, but a last minute snag means it may not be sent to President Bush for signing into law for several days.

The Senate voted 65-30 for the legislation late on Saturday that sets aside funds for a range of priorities including a presidential yacht, foreign aid and energy. It is one of the final pieces of work for the 108th Congress and they may return to finish a spy agency overhaul before the end of the year.

1. WTF does he need a yacht for?

To sail up and down the nasty Potomac??

3. He wants a bigger boat than daddy has.

remember, much of his mental processes are controlled by the idea that he was ths stupid lazy son, a cokesnorting lush, and a failure as a businessman.

By getting a bigger toy, I bet you'll see him sail it to Kennebunkport. "Hey daddy, see me? See me and my new boat?"


Want to bet?
