This is a must-see: The FeedYourADHD blog has a parody on the old Schoolhouse Rock clip “I’m Just a Bill” called “I’m Just a Stimulus Bill.” It is roaring funny!
It starts like this:
BOY: Woof! You sure gotta slip a lot of people some unmarked cash to get into this Capitol Building here in Washington, at least that’s what they say about The Chicago Way. But I wonder who that sad crumpled scrap of paper is?
I'm just a Stimulus bill.
Yes, I'm only a big fat pork barrel bill.
And I'm sitting here on The Messiah’s Capitol Hill.
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital-less shanty.
It's a long, long wait
While I'm in Harry Reid’s committee,
But I know I'll be a criminal law someday
At least I hope (and pay off a few moderates) so I will,
But today I’m still just a Stimulus bill.
BOY: Gee, Stimulus, you certainly have a lot of crap heaped on you for something that’s supposed to pick the country up off the ground.
BILL: Well I got this far, didn’t I, punk? When I started, I wasn't even so-called stimulus (and you can’t really say I am now), I was just a bunch of disparate socialist ideas in Democrats’ minds that they couldn’t ram through Congress until W. got out. Some folks back home decided they wanted hope and change, so they called their local Congressman (Nancy Pelosi…yes…I said Congressman) and said, "We’re paying The Messiah’s way to the promised land, so there oughta be some meat thrown our way." Then she sat down and tossed every piece of crap you can think of on me and introduced me to Congress. And I became a bill, and got rammed through the House, and I'll remain a bill in the Senate until they get enough moderates to help make me law.
I'm just a Stimulus bill.
Yes, I'm only a big fat pork barrel bill.
And I got as far as The Messiah’s Capitol Hill.
Well, now I'm stuck in Harry Reid’s committee
And I'll sit here and wait
While a few crackpot Congressmen pay off and sedate
Anyone with principle enough to not want me to be law.
How I hope (and help bamboozle a few moderates) so I will,
But today I am still just a Stimulus bill.
Read the rest here. You know you wanna sing along!
