Finally, some good news from the House

Holy shit, I can’t believe the Capitol doesn’t have a bust of Winston Churchill to show off. Sure, there’s one in the Ways and Means Committee hearing room, but that doesn’t count. Somebody get the fuck on this!

Oh, somebody has. Sure, while the House can’t pass a payroll tax cut extension, or anything worthwhile (except a resolution proclaiming that “In God We Trust” is still the national motto—take that commies!), it has taken up, and passed, a resolution demanding a bust of the British prime minister be erected. It’s the fourth bill that Speaker Boehner has sponsored since he became speaker.

This is awesome! Who needs jobs when we have old Winston?

In any case, it is fitting, since it was Churchill who once did say of his best friends the Americans: “We can always count on the Americans to do the right thing—after they have exhausted all the other possibilities.”
