I come to you today with truly nothing to say, but that
doesn’t stop me from saying it anyway. You see, I believe in always putting forth the image that
we’re getting something done, when in fact we can’t even decide on what we want for lunch. And
indeed, isn’t that the American way? Why, if we came right out and admitted that we were doing nothing,
then people would expect something, and what would we have then? Things would get done. Pretty
soon, we’d all learn how to get along. Next thing you know, it’d be like Star Trek –
the original series, mind you. Everybody walking around with nothing better to do than to get smarter.
You know what I call that? Unemployment. My constituents have told me time and
again that all they are truly interested in are jobs. Therefore, I’m going to do my best to insure
that nothing really gets done for the sake of our country. Now, you may say that I’m actually doing
nothing, but them college professors once told me that nothing is a truly something. I never understood
what that meant until now. Whereas it is possible, and even desirable, for me to do as little as possible,
unfortunately, for the average citizen that just wouldn’t be possible. After all, if nobody worked,
then there’s nobody paying taxes, and I wouldn’t be getting paid, so I would actually have to do something, and
as you can see, it all starts over again. And we wouldn’t want that. Therefore,
I would like to thank you for your time today, and assure you that equally as pointless memoranda will be issued regularly
in the future.
