First paragraph might be better as</p> <p>The House of Congress voted yesterday to get the USA back on track by raising the glass ceiling on top jobs by at least six feet. From now on, a stringent vetting procedure will ensure only the "right people who can lead the nation into the future" will be considered for senior appointments in government and industry. </p> <p>Will have another go at the later sections as well - any suggestions welcome </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=28605#post-80131 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 13:34:23 +0000 dvo4fun 80131@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Good stuff</p> <p>.... negotiating with the chinese' mmmmm nice<br /> stars </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=28605#post-80127 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 13:29:08 +0000 Vertically Challenged Giant 80127@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Good stuff. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=28605#post-80068 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 08:01:12 +0000 NewSuburbanDad 80068@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Congress vowed to get the USA back on track yesterday through passing a  vetting procedure designed to fast track the "right people to lead our nation into the future" into senior posts in government and industry. <br /> "Who are the right people?" said republican house leader Boehner. "Well not women, obviously - their hormones are all over the place. Then the biological alarm clock goes off, and pouff! One minute professional lawyer, next minute  they're all like , boo hoo I miss my kid."</p> <p>The full list of "persons automatically considered unsuitable for high office in this land unless they're really, really rich  - in which case we might consider it" runs to three pages, and includes "people of colour - unless they can prove they have no chip on their shoulder, Jews - unless in financial positions and able to demonstrate normalcy through the repeated eating of cheeseburgers, and "anyone whose parents clearly weren't clever enough to make a whole pile of cash"". </p> <p>"Yeah, we looked at positive discrimination but decided it was against republican principles" said Boehner. "It may be true that men whose grandparents made their money for them are a persecuted minority in this country, but that persecution makes them all the stronger. A man who can defend  his unearned inheritance from taxation is exactly the kind of guy you want on hand when negotiating with the chinese". </p> <p>If the experiment succeeds, rumours are circling within the tea party movement of a return to hereditary government. "If they ain't taxed, why represent them?" said an anonymous senator.  "I'm voting for King Bush I, and his son, and his son - as long as we can still shoot things." </p>
