Uh oh. Getting a lil too warm. Search your feelings, you know it be true…you gotta piss.
NOOOOOOOOOOO!
Just a little longer. You have enough gas to make it. You’ll be fine.
Fuck--- light is creeping in from that busted window blind.
NO. You’re staying. You haven’t been this snug in ages. You can hold it. Just curl into a ball and forget about the yellow river of urine about to crest.
(Stomach gurgles)
Uh oh. That ain’t hunger. Your bowels are saying “sup bro?” You gotta take a shit.
(Loud gurgles)
A mad shit.
NO. Who cares? You’re calling in sick. Intestines be damned you can’t risk it. You’re just so fucking comfy right now it’s ridiculous.
(Insane squishy gurgle)
Well, that about settles it. Time to get up and…
NO! We’re calling in remember? We can’t afford to get up right now, we might never be this comfy again!
Look, I want to stay in bed as much as you do but, we gotta hit that toilet man. ASAP.
STAY! Call in. Do some laundry later, clean up…
OK. That’s it. We are not SHITTING THE BED. We're late for work. I'm not trying to get fired for lounging in bed, and dude...we got some napalm diarrhea over here. We’re getting out of bed: NOW.
(sobbing)
B-But, we’re so comfy right now. Oh God. Well, we fought the good fight. We just didn’t win. Our days of being comfy are over.
Toilet seat lifts: explosion.
That’s basically how the 113th United States Congress handled the government shutdown earlier this month. The battle to defeat The Affordable Care Act/ObamaCARE ended long ago. It may be a flawed piece of legislation and already looks like its being implemented poorly, but it passed both houses of Congress, was reaffirmed with the last Presidential election…and was upheld by The Supreme Court. It’s over dude. It’s not going anywhere.
Unfortunately, some members of Congress (mainly House Republicans and deranged Senators like Ted Cruz) couldn’t be bothered to swallow the bitter pill of democracy/reality and realize that you can’t always get what you want and tried tying their continued fight against ObamaCare with the Federal Budget and Debt Ceiling negotiations in one last gasp of desperation/insanity. So they threw an ideological tantrum and held the government hostage for close to three weeks. Now funding the government is one of the most basic functions Congress performs. Humans need water and food to survive, the government needs Congress to appropriate funds to do stuff. It’s that simple. Republican members of the House were content with staying in their comfy beds of conservative ideology and ignore their basic duties to fund the government and ya know, not shit all over the place.
So what happened? Well, in the end, just one day prior to certain economic catastrophe, Congress was able to limp out of bed and reopen the government. Congratulations Congress, you’ve proved to be slightly more responsible than infants in not soiling yourselves. Kudos. Don’t get cocky though, I know potty training is a big deal, but you’ve still got a long road ahead.

That is probably what annoyed me most about the whole scenario. Congress were high fiving themselves and circle jerking over ending the shutdown as if they actually achieved something.
ReplyDeleteOk I laughed. Hard.
ReplyDeleteI think you nailed this.
This shut down was just the biggest load of nonsense buddy, like you say it's absolutely pathetic and your description was perfect, the government are currently an absolute joke!
