You couldn't make it up dept. no.48: What's on the mind of the world's mightiest legislative body

[fpb]

Forget everything you’ve read about this “do-nothing” Congress. Bills and resolutions are indeed getting passed:

“Resolved, That the Senate recognizes . . . the most famous and successful cereals and characters, including: (1) Tony the Tiger; and (2) Snap, Crackle and Pop.”

In all seriousness, the recent Senate resolution recognizes contributions of Will Keith Kellogg to the people of the world on this 100th anniversary of the creation of the first flaked breakfast cereal. Kellogg founded the Kellogg Co. in 1906 in Battle Creek, Mich.

Well, they did pick the best mascots. If they tried to salute the Honey Comb monster, I'd be writing an angry letter right now.

They left out Cap'n Crunch!?

Run the bastards out on a rail! Let's find multimillionaire lackey placeholders to run against whatever incumbents didn't do their duty and recognize the goodly Cap'n!

I bet Lieberman was behind this!
