Too cool for mortal man. One video after the jump:

From this week’s News of the Weird digest:Many voters, and critics in both parties, chided the “do-nothing” 109th Congress (2005-2006) as a body tied up in partisanship and divisiveness.  However, the Congress did manage to pass 383 pieces of legislation, except that almost 100 of those laws were merely authorizations to name post offices and ...
