BREAKING NEWS

Christmas in April

New York, NY (PDNN) According to a highly placed and reliable source, Congressman Barney Frank, D-MA has introduced legislation to change Christmas day from December 25 to April 15^th.

Our investigative operatives have been able to confirm this by accessing a relatively obscure section of the Congressional Record that is commonly used by politicians as a “stealth” vehicle to have their legislation enacted without any scrutiny.

When confronted, House Majority Leader, Steny Hoyer remarked: “Christmas is a traditional time of giving. We also give generously on April 15^th, so in the interests of expediency it makes complete sense to combine both occasions into one that is more efficient.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-CA echoed Hoyer’s comments and added: “The combining of these days into one holiday will allow businesses and factories to remain open on December 25^th and since they already stay open on April 15^th, we will all profit because companies will not have to pay employees for staying home on a December day and being unproductive”

A full vote in the House has been scheduled on Friday afternoon, prior to the members returning to their home districts for the summer recess.
