Yep, I shoulda at least kept that. At the time I thought it was
really either a huge joke...or if not, we'd sure be hearing about it.
Either way I figured it would be getting around more. Evidently no
news means it was a joke...it really is one of the kind that makes
you go "Hmmmm?", isn't it? If we didn't have insane people in
government, the insane would immediately be seen for what it is.

It's just GOT to be a joke, but then again, they haven't exactly been
that strict about adhering to the Constitution lately, have they? 
It is spooky that our government does so many horrid things that we
can almost believe they would do *anything*. I tend to expect the
worst so I won't be disappointed...but I still can't stay cynical
enough for this bunch in DC!
... Congress is going to dissolve us and vote in a new people.
