WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)The morning after Tuesdays stunning Tea Party victory in Virginia, House Republicans unveiled a sweeping new legislative agenda, proposing an end to Social Security, a return to child labor, and unprecedented gun rights for pets.
The Republican Party is the party of common sense, said House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). And such common-sense proposals as electronic ankle bracelets for immigrant babies and a barbed-wire fence with Canada are long overdue.
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) echoed Speaker Boehners sentiments as he touted his signature legislation, to put Americans under the age of twelve back to work.
Instead of spending all day playing with Xboxes, our kids should be in factories assembling them, he said.
