    You think thats bad..

    NEW LAW COMING FROM CONGRESS -- AMERICANS WITHOUT ABILITIES ACT


    WASHINGTON, DC - Jan. 13 - Congress is considering
    Sweeping legislation, which provides new benefits
    For many Americans. The Americans Without Abilities
    Act (AWAA) is being hailed as major legislation by
    Advocates of the millions of Americans who lack any
    Real skills, education, ambition, or
    Competence whatsoever..

    "Roughly 50 percent of Americans do not possess the
    Capability and drive necessary to carve out a meaningful
    Role for themselves in society," said Senator Barbara Boxer.
    "We can no longer stand by and allow People of Inability to
    Be ridiculed and passed over. With this legislation, employers
    Will no longer be able to grant special favors to a small group
    Of workers, simply because they do a better job, or have some
    Idea of what they are doing."

    The President pointed to the success of the US Postal Service,
    Which has a long-standing policy of providing opportunity
    Without regard to performance. Approximately 74 percent of
    Postal employees lack job skills, making this agency
    The single largest US employer of Persons of Inability.

    Private sector industries with good records of nondiscrimination
    Against the Inept include retail sales (72&#37, the airline industry (68%),
    And home improvement "warehouse" stores (65%) The DMV also has a
    Great record of hiring Persons of Inability. (71%)

    Under the Americans Without Abilities Act, more than 25 million
    New "middle man" positions will be created, with important-sounding
    Titles but little real responsibility, thus providing an illusory
    Sense of purpose and performance.

    Mandatory non-performance-based raises and promotions will be given,
    To guarantee upward mobility for even the most unremarkable employees.
    The legislation provides substantial tax breaks to corporations which
    Maintain a significant level of Persons of Inability in middle man
    Positions, and gives a tax credit to small and medium businesses
    That agree to hire one clueless worker for every two talented hires.

    Finally, the AWAA contains tough new measures to make it more
    Difficult to discriminate against the Non-Abled, banning
    Discriminatory interview questions such as "Do you have any goals
    For the future?" or "Do you have any skills or experience which
    Relate to this job?" All that an employer needs to know about any
    Job applicant is that they want the job being offered," said Senator
    Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York. "No one should suffer the
    Humiliation of being rejected as unqualified for any position
    They really, really want," she said.

    "As a Non-Abled person, I can't be expected to keep up with
    People who have something going for them," said Mary Lou Gertz,
    Who lost her position as a lug-nut twister at the GM plant in
    Flint, MI due to her lack of notable job skills. "This new law
    Should really help people like me." With the passage of this bill,
    Gertz and millions of other untalented citizens can finally
    See a light at the end of the tunnel.

    Said Senator Ted Kennedy, "It is our duty as lawmakers to provide
    Each and every American citizen, regardless of his or her adequacy,
    With some sort of space to take up in this great nation."

    By the looks of his Avi, I'd say BG may benefit from this pending legislation.

    Origins: Versions of this clever parody have been circulating on the Internet since 1998. The original ("Congress Passes Americans with No Abilities Act") came from The Onion, a publication that began as an underground satirical newspaper but has since grown into a world-famous web site.

    In the versions we've encountered in 2006, the original's fabricated quotes from President Clinton have been altered to attribute them to Senator Barbara Boxer or Senator Ted Kennedy; the fictitious Mary Lou Gertz, described in the 1998 original as an unessential filing clerk at a Minneapolis tile wholesaler, has been turned into a lug-nut twister at the GM plant in Flint, Michigan; and a reference to illegal aliens has been inserted into the concluding sentence

    In 2004, we saw the lampoon circulated prior to that year's Presidential election, presented as a "What if?" piece projected forward into 2005 and quoting "President Kerry" as being a supporter of the AWNAA.

    Yes, it is mostly a Demo thing, and a sure cure is to get rid of Shillery, Babs Boxer, Finstein and Pelosi and their trying to run a welfare state from the Capitol grounds in DC.

    ^ The only welfare the Democrats dole out now is to big corporations, just like their Republican friends. The myth of the welfare queen driving up to the welfare office in her Cadillac was 25 years ago. The new billion dollar embassy in Baghdad is the new welfare. Fatass Hillary gets her money from the same corporate trough as the Bushes. Funny stuff from the Onion, though.
