It’s bad enough decades ago the gang that couldn’t shoot straight goes into a PACKED U.S. House of Representatives with pistols a-blazin’, shoots up the place and only hit one guy in the ankle (and he was an intern, not even a member of Congress).

Fast forward to nowadays, and six pro-independence Puerto Ricans show up to the same place, this time they come in peace, an incoherent peace, but in peace nonetheless. They unfurled Puerto Rican flags and a bunch of signs IN SPANISH. Naturally WE know the signs said “111 Years of Colonialism is Shameful” and “End U.S. Occupation of Puerto Rico Now.” But because the signs weren’t understood by the same legislators they’re trying to convince, their message went nowhere. And on top of that, the signs were barely legible.

They were about to talk about colonialism when of course, the police show up and arrest them, charging them with disorderly conduct. There’s a rumor of an added charge of “looking Mexican” and therefore inciting panic.

They were released and ordered to show up in court at a later date.

THE GOOD NEWS: This has NOTHING to do with the swine flu….

THE BAD NEWS: WTF?!

For all of you with any kind of inferiority complex or maybe you are afraid of coming to Congress, Puerto Rico’s pretend congressperson has created a new committee, the Reassures Committeeâ„¢, which will help you with your problems.

Formerly known as the Resources Committee, the new Reassures Committeeâ„¢ will specialize in empathizing with your problem, which will come in handy when you testify about an issue that will surely go nowhere, such as statehood or independence for Puerto Rico or universal healthcare…

But hey, he did succeed in getting 25 cents.

(We assume that his next action item will be to battle Roselló to see who gets their face on the peseta)
