The nation is on the brink of bankruptcy. We’re in five different wars. And jobs are as scarce as a skinny Hardwickian. But – don’t worry – Vermont’s Congressman Peter Welch has got a solution: Ban Styrofoam cups in the congressional café.
It’s true. And it gets worse.
Because not only did Vermont’s lone congressman decide that banning these Styrofoam cups was a top priority, he lost.
That’s right. Welch’s bill to ban Styrofoam cups in the congressional café was defeated.
And the people on the sinking ship yelled: “Fuck yeah!”
But, seriously, does Peter Welch think he’s in the student council? Styrofoam cups? Really?
Don’t get me wrong, I know Styrofoam cups are evil. And I know all about how recycling will deliver us from our evils. But, for fuck’s sake, the country is going down the tubes and Welch is whining about the goddamn ingredients in cups? I guess that’s how millionaires are made, huh Peter?
Go ahead, Peter, rearrange those Styrofoam cups on your Ship of Fools. You must be so proud.
