House passes legislation to avert ‘catastrophic’ rail strike, provide rail workers paid sick leave

Holy shit – don’t tell me, they are not all brain-dead after all.

The only thing I can think of that caused such an expedient resolution, a few of the politicians had some merchandise coming in by rail and did not want to get shut out. There can be no other explanation.

The House or the Senate has never acted so swiftly since the time they voted NOT TO STOP their pay if the government shut down.

Is there hope for the country after all?? No fucking way!!! We can label this miraculous move on their part, temporary insanity.

I could just see all of the fools in the capitol hallways congratulating one another on what they should do normally.

They probably made reservations at one of the upper-echelon restaurant in DC for tonight, ordering the best food and drinking the best booze; naturally putting it on the taxpayer’s tab.

Well done ladies and gentlemen; you finally did something constructive and what you are paid for.This should be the rule not the exception.
