3. The obligatory four paragraph clip.

The President did not specify what the current U.S. Capitol building would be used for in the future, but he hinted that it could be the setting for historic reënactments in the manner of Colonial Williamsburg.

“I think it could be fascinating to school groups,” he said. “It could really take them back to the olden days when it was a real, functioning place.”

Minutes after the President signed the order, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) called it “an outrage” and “grounds for impeachment,” but Obama appeared to take such howls of protest in stride.

“If Congress believes that this executive order is illegal, they can take it up with the Supreme Court,” he said. “Oh wait—we don’t have a Supreme Court.”

Yup! Andy Borowitz is a gem!

5. they're always howling about the Constitution!

Well when are they going to start following it?

And aren't they the party of fiscal conservatism? Why are they spending 5 mill per year per detainee? For that money, I'll run a prison!!

And oh, booga booga booga, terrorists are going to be in your back yard!! Says the senator from Colorado. Yes like the 500 who are already locked up inside the U.S.?

I would laugh, but I feel more like crying.
