The 109th Congress did accomplish something…


They didn’t do much, but they did manage to rename a heck of a lot of post offices

Of the 383 pieces of legislation that were signed into law during the two-year 109th Congress, more than one-quarter dealt with naming or renaming federal buildings and structures - primarily post offices - after various Americans.

That’s clearly the most important use of the two days a week Congress worked this past two years.

I KNEW their building naming attacks were Orwellian! Just KNEW it! I think we have a theme going, no? What they complain about loudest they are doing most.
