Don't get me wrong. I would rather Congress spend 100% of its time writing bills to congratulate Super Bowl-winning teams and whatnot, than slopping together more consequence-ignorant, corporate-welfare, nanny-state, liberty-reducing laws.
Still, to see Representative Jeff Flake's (R-AZ) response to HR 784 is just plain fun. The bill was introduced to "honor[] the 2560th anniversary of the birth of Confucius and recognize[] his invaluable contributions to philosophy and social and political thought." Seriously.
Flake's response, which accompanied his vote against the bill:
He who spends time passing trivial legislation may find himself out of time to read healthcare bill.At press time, it is unconfirmed if he followed his statement with a hearty "Wokka wokka!"
