Does anyone know Latin?

[JDPriestly]

I went into a website of a member of congress to post an e-mail and found strange text in what I believe is Latin.

Here is one paragraph of it. Please translate it if you can:


Aliquam pulvinar leo ac arcu pulvinar cursus. Duis vestibulum, ligula a fermentum suscipit, libero orci consectetur est, in convallis justo metus et lorem. Duis ultricies aliquet leo, ornare adipiscing elit volutpat eget. Mauris vulputate pulvinar est, ac gravida ante rhoncus id. Duis nec sem eget erat egestas tincidunt eu at lorem. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Nam tincidunt commodo ante ut sollicitudin. Nulla porttitor, elit vel facilisis cursus, dolor arcu rutrum quam, sed placerat purus magna blandit arcu. Nunc vitae malesuada tortor. Nulla dolor dolor, imperdiet non ultricies in, posuere et nisl. Curabitur convallis, mi ultricies porta rhoncus, nibh leo convallis mi, eu volutpat neque nibh id nibh. Donec erat felis, pellentesque ac posuere sit amet, imperdiet quis ligula.
Integer vel erat nisi, quis faucibus est. Aliquam a neque id odio posuere aliquet eget vitae nunc. Praesent at ornare nunc. Sed convallis, orci ac dignissim congue, sapien erat sagittis ipsum, ac ultricies leo leo in arcu. Mauris ligula ipsum, commodo in cursus sit amet, laoreet sit amet nisi. In semper, metus at tempor semper, erat risus lacinia erat, sed condimentum lacus est at risus. Quisque nec libero velit, scelerisque dignissim justo. Etiam rutrum, nisl a feugiat dictum, eros purus vehicula dolor, in sollicitudin enim urna non mauris. Maecenas vitae lacinia metus. Vestibulum sodales pellentesque sollicitudin.

There is a lot more text. I don't know what this is or why it appeared on the website when I went there. Any ideas?

1. That's just a placeholder designers/graphic artists use sometimes.

Lorem ipsum ...

It just shows where the final text goes.

Edit to add link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum

3. It's the DLC congressional platform.

4. Dan Quayle and I speak it every time we visit Latin America, but I can't make sense of this.
