Spend time on important matters

Women's issues such as birth control, abortion and ultrasound images before abortion have gotten to be political issues that have been taking up much of the government's time lately.
Soon to enter the political agenda are two more women's issues, the “Ladies Handbag Bill” and the “Ladies Length-of-Skirt Bill.”
It is a well-known fact that Republican women buy Gucci handbags at such places as Tiffany & Co. and Saks Fifth Avenue. Democrats tend to buy other brands of handbags from such places as Macy's. Republicans claim that by buying those highly expensive handbags, they are helping the economy and should get some tax breaks. Democrats are dead set against using taxpayer money to subsidize handbag purchases, and believe that a tax rate of 30 percent should be levied on those items.
Needless to say that bill is not making much progress in Congress.
Recently, a new issue was introduced to the bill by the ACLU. Their contention that because of the lack of transparency women might be inclined to stash prayer books in their handbags, and may be inclined to use those when they are on school property. The ACLU believes that such lawlessness should be curbed at all costs. I am sure we will be hearing more about that later.
The “Ladies Length-of-Skirt Bill” appeared to be locked in a partisan block. The Republicans wanted skirt lengths to be above the knee while the Democrats wanted the lengths to be below the knee. A Republican senator broke the log jam by introducing an amendment to the bill called the hybrid skirt amendment.
That allowed the front of the skirt to be above the knee while the back of the skirt would be below the knee.
The latest poll indicated that the bill would be easily passed by both houses of Congress and would soon be on its way to the White House for the president's signature.
