I love Congressional gridlock

Nancy Pelosi (left), who was hot as hell back before electricity -- and I'd still, ya know, bang her gavel -- is now Speaker of the House. Along with new Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, our Nancy is committed to stopping partisan Congressional gridlock, because "that's what the people want". Apparently they both think the public is demanding that everyone just get along and by gum, get to work.

Passing more goddamm laws.

See, that's the thing. I fucking LOVE Congressional gridlock. All these politico types know how to do is add more laws to what gajillions are already there. There are quintillions of laws. Here are some true, stupid ones:

• Iowa: one-armed piano players must perform for free.
• Colorado: it is illegal to drive a black car on Sundays.
• Texas: You are legally married if you introduce someone as your wife or husband three times in public.
• Oregon: it is illegal to pump your own gas in service stations.
• Minnesota: it is illegal to enter Wisconsin wearing a chicken on your head.

You get the idea.

I say: fewer laws. More gridlock. Drink up. Buff my scrotum. Amen.
