Funny Non-Bankrutpcy Story
(November 29th, 2006 under Fun Stuff )
In this day of "truthiness" as described by Stephen Cobert, here is a tale about a woman who pretends to be a member of the United States Congress. She has references on the web so that if one "googles" her, it will appear that she is legitimate, but she is not. "The tales spread about her are just detailed enough to appear plausible. According to the press releases, which are posted on the website www.pr-inside.com http://www.pr-inside.com and show up in Google news searches, the congresswoman is pressing legislative priorities including "a program designed to capitalize on the current ?scrapbooking craze' to increase youth reading levels through individual vouchers and through major tax-breaks to the American scrapbooking industry" and the Yoga Mat Cleanliness Act (YMCA), which the congresswoman promoted through appearances with actress Sarah Jessica Parker. According to the release, Parker "caught a bad case of tinea cruris [don't ask] from using an unclean yoga mat"."
Here is a link to the full article, in The Hill, a newspaper for and about the U.S. Congress:
