Monkies, or a King?

"Did you see in the news today that Bill Frist and some other Senator are introducing legislation to make it illegal to sing the national anthem in anything other than English? Aren't the Republicans all about small government? How the frack would you ever enforce such a law?"

"See, you're looking at this all wrong. That is exactly the kind of thing the United States Congress should focus on. If they spent all their time on meaningless stuff like daylight savings time and the official language of the natinal anthem, they would do a lot less harm."

"Gosh. I never thought about it that way. It's pathetic, but it just might be true."

"Yeah, well. The only flaw in my argument is that the Bush administration has already decided it's the only branch of government with any actual power. So making Congress completely irrelevant would basically make the president the King that he already thinks he is. Which is probably a bad thing."
