Elves, Leprechauns and Fairies Upset Over Exclusion From Nation’s Motto

Continuing its total failure to make any progress on addressing the nation’s economic crisis, the Republican-controlled United States House of Representatives chose instead this week to spend its time reaffirming In God We Trust as the nation’s formal motto. According to a spokesperson, members of the Associated Brotherhood of Elves, Leprechauns and Fairies, who collectively like to think of themselves as “God’s Little Buddies,” are understandably peeved: not only at their exclusion from the motto, but also at Congress’s shameless pandering to narrow constituencies in an attempt to divert attention from their continuing inaction on far more pressing and substantive issues.
