"We stop here now for a moment to recall some of the other sensible
pieces of legislation that have passed away for no discernible reason
except political insanity. It will be a quick, quiet trip, similar to
the one the finalists on “Survivor” take to remember all the people who
have been voted off the island.
We will not forget you, good old Postal Service reform.
Keeping you in our thoughts, bipartisan farm bill.
Rest in peace, gun control.
Till we meet again, energy efficiency legislation.
And we walk on, pretending not to notice immigration reform lying over in the corner, coughing pathetically.
So what happens now? The Senate is still working on the
kicking-the-can-down-the-road bill. If we survive next week, there will
be more cans and another fiscal cliff or two. Whoops! It’s time for the
holidays."
