Cats, Christmas and Congressional Confusion.

This Christmas Congress has provided those of us who are on Medicare with the prospect of reduced benefits and additional taxation. While I would like to thank them for postponing their recess to address the purported crises I am still amazed by their methods of attack. Normally, solutions are reached through studying the problem before proposing the cure. These wonderful folk have somehow found a way to write a book report before they read it. Amazing!

To reward them for their diligence we Seniors (and those who would hope to become such) should send our representatives an e-mail expressing our profound thanks for their extraordinary efforts. We should send extra long messages to those gentlemen/women who, with heavy hearts I am sure, accepted entitlements to their constituents at the last moment in lieu of all that voting your conscience stuff.

Here is where the cats come in. Since Congress can sign bills and stuff before they know what's in them we must assume they are telepathic savants capable of unlocking the secret code of the universe by sheer association. If they can analyze, digest and vote to pass a thousand page document without reading it they can surely decipher cat language with little effort.

So place your cat, dog, squirrel, snake, rabbit, aardvark or whatever animal you think righteous on your keyboard after addressing your e-mail to congress. Let that animal dance, peck, poke or slither out a Christmas wish to your chosen representative. My cat danced the keyboard this morning and it came out - 2tr9i n9nw

2010. P.S. Get a real job (if you can find one).
