WASHINGTON, D.C. — After a week of grueling v**es for Speaker of the House — 15 in total — Kevin McCarthy was finally handed the people's gavel and took his rightful place as Speaker. He lifted it up to the raucous applause of both Democrats and Republicans, signaling that the week of Congressional inactivity was over and the long national nightmare of taxing, spending, and corruption could finally begin.
"Finally, we will get down to the people's business of stealing all their money for our pet projects, making backroom deals, and holding meaningless investigations where we yell and point angrily at people to get some sweet sound bytes for our ree******ns," said McCarthy to the assembled warmongers, rapists, and half-dead geriatrics in the room. "Our long congressional nightmare is over, and the long national nightmare is finally here! Huzzah!"
Those in the crowd who were still sober enough to stand then stood and cheered.
Experts predict that business as usual will resume first thing Monday, as politicians give portentous speeches to empty rooms, have important meetings with weapons manufacturers, and attend coke orgies. "Americans are overwhelmingly pleased to be finally achieving a state of normalcy in Washington again," said one pollster.
At publishing time, Congress had already authorized another $100 billion to Ukraine.

Where this belongs, I'm not quite sure. The sarcasm is impressive, but wasted on the serious intentions of real photographers.

I don't see "Good Times" coming.
Although some don't like sending aid to Ukraine, imagine how things would be if Russia wins.

Glad to hear it was a mistake. Since ALL your new topics are in the attic, I’d have thought With all that experience, finding the attic would be easy

Not all. With all your experience knowing that Admin will correct this, I'd have thought you wouldn't be so concerned about the mistake.

The concern would be with the deception and provocation. You have been here long enough to know what you are doing. The excuse that you accidentally posted in the wrong section is not credible.

And the fact that you want to make an issue out of this mistake that shows up in the UHH on a fairly regular basis, reveals to me what a fool you are. Who in their right mind really worries about this nonsense?
