Congress Should Pass a Resolution Honoring Itself for Passing Such Awesome Resolutions
Hey, look at this! I'm about to agree with House Minority Leader John Boehner…
Boehner chided Democratic colleagues for taking up a resolution honoring the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius, suggesting it was "unacceptable" for the Congress to spend time on similar measures Tuesday while the economy continues to struggle.
"While Democrats get ready to celebrate the birth of an ancient Chinese philosopher, House Republicans will talk about our better solutions to create jobs and make health care more affordable and accessible for America's seniors," Boehner said in a statement.
On the one hand, it makes me really angry to see Congress busying itself useless nonsense. But, on the other, Confucius died nearly two and half milennia ago, and America's continued ignorance of his important work in fortune cookies was getting kind of ridiculous. (And just when are we going to get around to recognizing that Gilgamesh guy, huh?)
Why oh why oh why can't the Democrats be more like the Republicans, who don't waste everybody's time honoring dead Chinese philosophers. No, they would never do anything like that.
They prefer to waste everybody's time honoring disaffected ignorant racists…
Three Republican lawmakers on Monday introduced a resolution honoring participants in the Sept. 12 "tea party" protests in Washington D.C.
Oh, Congress. You so crazy (and incompetent)!

I agree that Boehner is a jackass and is very good at really doing nothing. But the question about him creating jobs? This is crazy talk. It is impossible for government to create real jobs. Sure they can create positions to build roads and push paper, but govt jobs actually take away from true economic growth. The govt has no means of creating wealth. Everything that they have they had to take (steal) from someone else, and always by force or the threat of force. And these past two sentences are fact. BOOM! Fact! Just dropped some truth on ya. And passing this stolen money around does not create jobs in the long run.
Well thank goodness that Boehner was busy creating jobs rather than wasting time criticizing Democrats for wasting time…oh wait.
Oh yes, God forbid our congress should spend a few minutes to honor a philsopher who wrote almost exclusively about the merits, characteristics, and practices of good governance and constructive criticism… actually, phrasing it like that has made me see exactly why Republicans are against it
