Maybe my grasp on the American political system is shakier than I thought, or this is a press release reprinted as news:

Senate Democrats are holding a news conference Thursday on a jobs bill without an actual jobs bill, an apparent sign that the Massachusetts Senate vote that is bringing Scott Brown to Washington is still reverberating through the U.S. Capitol.

[From FOXNews.com - Democrats Close to Vote on Jobs Package Without Bill in Hand]

And FoxNews, as the No Agenda boys have been theorizing for a year now, looks just a little bit more like a straw-man mouthpiece for the Democrats.

When I was a boy, if you were planning on going into politics, you generally got everything you needed to know from Schoolhouse Rock’s “I’m just a Bill”. It was simple, really, you’re just a bill waiting on Capitol Hill, as it were. There were no votes unless something was being voted upon, and there was no law until the painstaking process, which made sense (at least in cartoon form), was completed. This is what keeps frivolous whims from becoming the law of the land.

I’m trolling, of course, because this article is nothing more than a press release from the Democratic party saying “Hey, dudes, we’re still here and we’re like in Congress and we’re gonna vote on stuff”, which I thought everyone kind of assumed. It’s just a way to be a bit more relevant, to get some headlines. There’s some juice in being in Washington, so you might as well use it.

It’s all about hookers and blow with these people.
