The Foley memorial Post Office? No?

I'm waiting for the Bud Dwyer Building.

Ours is named Boobies Office

/filter

The Tom Cruise Post Office and Intergalactic Communication Center?

The Strom Thurmond Post Office in whiteyville, SC?

"With all other problems solved..."

never fit better.

this is old, i read this (saw the headline) on rawstory.com yesterday. pops.

Congress can solve more of our problems by doing less real "lawmaking," not more. Naming post offices is a good way to keep them busy. The real trick is to get the Executive Branch to enforce the laws that matter.

Any word on the STFU and GBTW post office?

Worst...Congress...evar!

Uh, look at the voting records. This kind of legislation is usually about the only thing that the minority party can pass. Witness the next Democratic Jeebus, your very own Barack Obama. Name the one law he sponsered and passed. Thats right, renaming a post office. Same with Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.

Rosa Parks Post Office of East S. Louis, anyone?

This seems like a task that is appropriate for our lawmakers' level of competence. I'd rather they name post offices than do real work, like taking mail to post offices, for example.

This has been the worst Congress in history, IMHO.

RancidOne: This has been the worst Congress in history, IMHO.

They've still got to beat the shenanigans of the House Committee on Un-American Activities back in the 1950s.

Though Terror has a damned good chance of being the new Red Scare in the near future...

I want to be a politician.

Did you know they are "off" for Xmas break until after the first of the year? Of course, they got their 10 days off for Thanksgiving too. I think these last two weeks are just so they can join in the white elephant gift exchange at the Senate building.


I think this congress worked the FEWEST number of days of any congress in years. Yet they STILL managed to fark things up and fark us over.

/over-achievers

Geezus, this headline/story only comes up every damned month.

I'd be willing to bet (having not combed over the C-SPAN footage) that these resolutions went to voice vote while members were still filing in. You know, so that the reps would here something going on and say "shiat, I'd better get in there and get to work!"

I'd further bet some volunteer intern wrote up the form letter resolution also.

OH MY GOD! NO!

Oh wait...was this supposed to be a bash or something?

I had a green lit article on this very topic about four or five months ago-although at the time, the ratio was one in six bills were to rename post offices; the final tally is one in four.

well, they do name post offices after people. that is part of their job.

ZOMG THE GOVERNMENT SUXXXXXX!

Anybody who thinks this is the worst Congress in history does not know anything about history, LMFAO!!!!

Try 1861, 1867, 1910, 1919, 1929-31, 1976-79 and those are just a few that immediately come to mind without doing research.

Of course we are so arrogant that we think the most important times in history is when we are occupying the planet.

Naming Post offices is pretty lame, and if that is the most important thing we as a country have to deal with then so be it. It means they are not busy raising taxes and instituting regulations.

The president tried to get them to address Social Security.

But, without a veto proof majority in the Senate they ran from it like scared lil biatches.

Hey the more Congress does nothing, the more progress we make as a country, quite the paradox.

Dont forget this last Congress has made achievments that will go down in history books too!

I think this congress worked the FEWEST number of days of any congress in years. Yet they STILL managed to fark things up and fark us over.

Bingo! This Congress has worked the fewest days in the history of our country! Congrats Republicans!

FWIW, this is the only thing they could do, considering up until last month it was a Repub. run congress; nothing else they proposed would have been passed.

The really funny thing about this article is all the politicians listed as getting things named are Democrats. It's the best they could get with a Republican majority, but the Repubs didn't even do shiat.

What if you could buy rights?

"Fark.com Post Office" anyone?

How about "Tampax Post Office" or "Trojan Post Office"

or

"Winchesterarms.com Post Office"

lol

Bingo! This Congress has worked the fewest days in the history of our country! Congrats Republicans!

Do you really want Congress to work more? Gridlock is your friend.

I heard that they are nominated for the freedom award.

/WTF is the freedom award?

Do you really want Congress to work more? Gridlock is your friend.

They should either have to work for their paycheck or I should be able to vote down their salary. How about that?

Jack Kevorkian Medical Center
Fred Phelps College of Diversity and Tolerance
Osama Bin Laden International Airport
Stephen William Hawking Gymnasium and Sports Complex
Jane Roe Home for Unwed Mothers
O J Simpson Justice Center

Its time they vote themselves another pay raise I think.

IPOOPONU--Bingo! This Congress has worked the fewest days in the history of our country! Congrats Republicans!

funny considering all of their rhetoric of pulling ourselves up by the bootstraps

guess they are too busy laundering illegal campaign donations

At least they did something...

SpaceCowboy: What if you could buy rights?

UFIAPO

/too obvious.

I bet they were all named RAYGUN.

seriously,they named EVERYTHING after that demented old fart.

southern78 : Its time they vote themselves another pay raise I think.

aaaaahhhh, the BEAUTY OF POLITICS. See, they'd have to vote ONLY TO STOP THE RAISE. Many moons ago (although really not that long ago), some brainiac figured out that in an election, your opponent can always point out where you voted a pay raise for yourself. In order to take this advantage (TRUTH) away from the opponent, Congress voted that they would get a PAY RAISE EVERY YEAR UNLESS THEY VOTED TO NOT ACCEPT IT

This way, my congressman, who has received 10 pay raises since he took office 10 years ago HAS NEVER VOTED FOR A PAY INCREASE FOR HIMSELF!!!!!! Amazing huh? Of course, he also never voted to NOT ACCEPT THE RAISE, but that's supposed to just fly over the voters heads.

Sadly, it often does.

and all on a three day work week.
