LOL: Top 10 priorities for a GOP Congress in 2006

One of my favorite sites is www.fark.com. If you've never been there, it's a sort of collection of "weird news" links. The commentary/quips that go along with the links are probably the best thing about the site. Anyways, I stumbled onto this link to "Human Events Online", and found it absurdly funny. Enjoy:

Top 10 Priorities for GOP Congress in '06
10. End earmarks
9. Ban all human cloning
8. Repeal Medicare Prescription Drug Plan
7. Stop President Bush’s amnesty/guest worker plan
6. Authorize oil drilling in ANWR
5. Renew the Patriot Act
4. Reform Social Security with private accounts
3. Cut federal government spending
2. Make President Bush’s tax cuts permanent, including abolition of the death tax
1. Build border fence to cover entire U.S.-Mexico border

So there you have it: the number one concern facing America is the lack of a fence between Mexico and the US. Should I laugh or cry?

1. 1. Declare martial law, jail dissenters, cancel future elections.
Excuse me, your analysis is good for 2006. Mine is for 2007, and numbers 2-10 don't matter.

2. I almost thought an earmark was a type of body piercing
WHy would republicans make banning body piercing a top priority?
