News like Mad magazine

I am so proud of our national House of Representatives. This evening I came home and read the news. Today, the House has repealed Obama’s law, which prevented mentally ill people from buying guns. How dare Obama try to keep mentally unstable people from buying guns.

Also they repealed the law that prevented coal companies from polluting the streams. This is supposed to help bring back coal jobs. Of course we all know that coal is dead with natural gas prices being this low, but it is the thought that counts. Besides, what do people need more non-existent jobs or clean water to drink?

Keep up the good work, House of Representatives, and send my special thanks to our own representative. Our political news is like an ongoing Mad magazine issue.
