Republicans Introduce Economic Equality Bill For Fun Of Shooting It Down
WASHINGTON, DC—Republicans in the House of Representatives proposed H.R. 2093: the Economic Equality Initiative, with the express purpose of shooting it down "just for kicks" Tuesday. "H.R. 2093 will level the economic playing field, spreading the wealth among the rich and poor," said Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-TX), visibly fighting back snickers. "We must pass this bill to stop the fat cats from getting fatter while the average Joe struggles to make ends meet. Also, I'm the Queen of Bavaria." Following 10 minutes of uproarious laughter, the congressmen stepped out of the chamber to smoke cigars lit with a bill that would allocate $115 million to clean up hazardous waste sites.




Warning!! this is a PARODY! This is a JOKE! it is not ment to be SERIOUS!

4. i find this sort of post annoying. please put the disclaimer before what
you are disclaiming. I personally request that you don't do it again. I consider it 'find f**king, similar to a crank phone call, which i get about 4 times a day lately.... but it is a free country, you can do what you want I,ll just not read any of your posts to avoid it.

6. It does'nt hurt to smile every once in a while!
This is a description of this forum..

"Discuss the wacky antics of your favorite conservatives.." This implies comedy to me.

Oh and PS... get an unlisted phone!
