Wouldn't it be great if this is what we saw next week?

I have to say, though, this sketch mostly reminded me how much I miss Maya Rudolph's presence on SNL since she left to be a mommy. Speaking of which, did anyone notice that Amy Poehler was conspicuously missing this week? (SPOILER ALERT: It's a boy!)

Also, below the fold watch Joe Biden and John Murtha saying crazy things.

As House Republicans plow through a third week of protesting their body's recess without a resolution on offshore drilling, some in the media are suggesting that maybe they've already accomplished enough for one session.

Namely, the Wall Street Journal has gone as far as to compile a list of the important legislative issues tackled by the 110th Congress.

Here are some highlights…

July is now National Watermelon Month
Authored by Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA)
"As Mark Twain once said, 'When one has tasted watermelon he knows what the angels eat.' I encourage my colleagues to join me in acknowledging the wisdom of Mark Twain by supporting this resolution," Sen. Chambliss said on the Senate floor.

March 11th is now National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day
Authored by Rep. Charlie Wilson (D-OH)
Wilson is a self-described "lifelong funeral director" who is riling up his base.

July 28 is now National Day of the Cowboy
Authored by Sens. Mike Crapo (R-ID) and Larry Craig (R-ID)
Created to honor the memory of the late Sen. Craig Thomas (R-WY), a famous non-cowboy.

Decree acknowledging the 70th anniversary of the Idaho Potato Commission
Authored by Rep. Michael Simpson (R-ID)
Sets straight the terrorists who insisted the Commission was only 69.

$459.33 billion appropriated to the Department of Defense for Fiscal Year 2008
Authored by Rep. John Murtha (D-PA)
Eh… sounds boring.

Cranky old man Rep. John Murtha says that cranky old man Sen. John McCain is too much of a cranky old man to be president…

Murtha told a union audience Wednesday that the presidency is "no old man's job"…

Murtha is 75, four years older than McCain. He says they are nearly the same age, and the rigors and stress of the presidential campaign is too much for guys their age.

I wonder if the fact that Murtha is a Democrat has anything to do with that opinion.

I doubt it.
