This was seized on by the media as "Congress declares pizza a vegetable." This was a bill that regulated the food content in school lunches, and it wanted to count the tomato paste in pizza as a vegetable portion. Beyond the laughable nature of making pizza seem like more of a health food is the better punch line. If any of our leaders could open a fifth grade dictionary they would learn that the tomato is a fruit.

wow, that's messed up

I think 3 Mark Twain quotes sum this up:

"Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself."

"We have the best government that money can buy."

"God made Idiots for practice, and then He made School Boards."

Here's one more from the Master:

"It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress."
