Congress Relieved To Admit It's Not Going To Accomplish Anything This Year

WASHINGTON, DC—Members of Congress breathed a collective sigh of relief Tuesday when Speaker Dennis Hastert successfully introduced a resolution averring that the legislative body was “probably not going to get much done in 2005.” “Whereas, we have been debating the same bills for months,” the resolution read in part. “Whereas, we have been getting nowhere; Resolved, let’s not force it.”When asked what they would do for the rest of 2005, given the passing of the resolution, many said they might go see some movies or visit constituents.
