The 113th Congress: Procrastination Without Penialization. [View all]

Satire - by Jesse Hendrix

It came down to the last possible second but Congress has come to its senses and done their jobs. The shutdown is over (for now) and default has been avoided (until February). Now the two sides can talk seriously about the budget like sensible adults. They won't, not if Ted “No hugging, no learning” Cruz has anything to say about it. But they could. Like any bipartisan deal, the Let's Not Destroy the Economy Just Yet Act signed by the president involves lots of little compromises, and for some reason a giant dam. Here are a few of its lesser known provisions.

President Obama promises not to do the “I told you so” dance.

Republicans can keep making up scary Obamacare stories to raise money.

Twinkies now available in house cafeteria.

Senate rules new statute, that no one is allowed to disabuse Ted Cruz of the notion that he accomplished something.
