The CNN Political Ticker has acute story about those silly Chinese and one of their very primitive thinker-people and Congress and stuff. What wacky bad jokes can be made here? "WASHINGTON (CNN) – In a belated celebration on Wednesday, the House marked last month's 2,560th birthday of Chinese philosopher Confucius by passing a resolution recognizing 'his invaluable contributions to philosophy and social and political thought.'" Next sentence... wait for it... "But some members apparently prefer their Confucius confined to a fortune cookie rather than on the House floor." HEY-O! Take that, railroad workers.
