Abstract
For decades now, the Union of Comedy Writers and Actors has worked tirelessly to elect someone to Congress to advance our agenda, so we can finally prove to the world how incredible we are. So when the perfect political candidate came along, Al Franken, we naturally poured tens of thousands of jokes, made at his opponent's expense, into his campaign. And it worked! He came from behind to win by 331 votes. And even though the ungrateful so-and-so didn't show his appreciation by introducing our bill into Congress, we still gave it another go with his reelection. But since he still hasn't lifted a finger to help us, well, that's it. No more Mr. Nice Guy. From now on, we're going to turn all Congressional candidates into laughing stocks, unless they support the following legislation.
