It doesn’t look like this is going to get harder any time soon.

In my last entry, I remarked on how the Bush administration made mocking our government easy.  Well, the Dems aren’t going to make me work any harder.

So Congress passes a huge farm bill, that is only marginally related to farming, and send it to the president.  The president vetoes it, as promised, and sends it back.  The House overwhelmingly votes to override the veto, and gets ready to send it to the Senate.  Simple so far, right?

No.  It seems when Congress printed up the Farm Bill, they  forgot to include, oh, about 34 pages.  So the bill vetoed by the president was technically a different bill than the one passed by Congress.

The upshot, it looks like Congress will have to go back and redo the thing from the start.

Considering the billions being spent on pork and unnecessary subsidies, couldn’t Congress afford to hire a proofreader or two?
