    Congress spends a lot of time trying to name pending legislation so as to ensure that it will obtain final passage. This means many closed door late night meetings searching for just the right words to name a new bill. This means spending the taxpayer's money on focus groups grinding out the exact hot-button terminology. Think I am being foolish? How dare you! Allow me to prove my foolishness...

    • If a bill were proposed to ensure that big time contributors to Congress' political campaigns are properly rewarded for their donations, it would probably be named Senior Citizens Retirement Protection Act.

    • Do not be too quick to label this as deceptive. These contributors are going to be Senior Citizens someday and they will become feeble and, when they do become feeble, they are going to need to be protected.

    It is a very brave politician that is going to take the chance that, in an upcoming re-election campaign, he will be labeled as having voted against Senior Citizen Retirement Protection.

    In the current legislative "environmental" environment the sure things that will sail through our Congress are bills that protect the Earth's Precious Environment. Here is how Congress can eliminate those Closed Door Late Night meetings and all that tax money spent on those repeated very expensive Focus Groups.

    The next piece of legislation that starts making its way through Congress should simply be named Environmental Protection Act #1. Environmental Protection Act #1 can be quickly followed by Environmental Protection Act #2. Can you guess what the next one will be named? You guessed it ... Environmental Protection Act #3. Need I go on?

    It is a very brave and stupid politician that is going to take the chance that, in an upcoming re-election campaign, he will be labeled as having voted against Environmental Protection!

    What a stroke of genius this foolishness is! What a time saver! I'm glad I thought of it.

    Would I kid u?
