Other 293 Million Americans Waiting For Congress To Pass Bills For Them

The success of Congress's record-breakingly speedy passage of a bill
specifically crafted for the parents and brother of
persistently-vegetative Terry Schiavo induced a furor this morning as
America's other 293 million inhabitants eagerly awaited their own
"personal legislation."

"I can't wait," said seven-year-old Terry Dooley, who has petitioned
Congress to pass legislation ordering Schwinn to give him a new bike.

Americans couldn't be happier that Congress is finally doing something
for them. "Now, this is your government at work," said Piper Cobb, who
has asked Congress for a law requiring credit card companies to give him
an exceptionally low rate of interest with no late payment fees.

"The era of the individually targeted law has arrived," said Professor
Anthony Garnabanzo. "Congress has finally abandoned the idea of forging
general domestic policies that impact on the entire country."

Tammy Gamble of Illinois has asked Congress to pass a law stopping the
accelerating erosion of health care benefits offered by her employer,
Sears. "Pretty soon we will not be able to afford the cost of my cancer
medication copayment," she said.

Garnabanzo traced the evolution of so-called "personally crafted"
legislation back to the advent of George W. Bush's presidency. "When the
Supreme Court created a personal private right of action protecting
George W. Bush from counting the Florida ballots, it was just a matter
of time before they started protecting other people."

UPDATE: Two new developments in the Schiavo case:
