Month: June 2006

According to his testimony, Congressman Joe Barton, R-Ennis, is a big video gamer. Looks like the House has nothing better to do than debate video games again. And apparently the video games only affect poor black children in the ghetto. Rich white kids in the suburbs don’t need to worry – they’re apparently immune to the video game’s influence. So here’s my theory. Rather than getting rid of all video games, lets just increase welfare and get rid of the poor kids in America. Then we won’t have to worry about the influence of video games.
Also we’ll have to work hard to get the Senate on board, because they just voted down another possible increase in the minimum wage. As if the poor didn’t have enough problems.

And next week:
