Politician Arrested Brandishing Balanced Budget Plan ©2011GaryCGibson (fiction)

A U.S. Congressman brandishing a balanced budget plan was surrounded by capitol security forces early this morning at the reflecting pond. Raving about tax increases and spending cuts, construction of an I-10 electric highway development and a Mexican border control canal the Congressman presented a danger to business as usual.

Negotiators talked the congressman down and brought him to surrender after Officers of the Deficit Disorder Komiteh standing just across the district border lured the representative into a security net with succulent chunks of promising pork.

Writhing in the net the Congressman yelled that he had video of a Moose down on Pennsylvania Avenue being tased and beaten by Capitol Police. Then he yelled that Albert Pujols is worth 150 million for four years and the President of the U.S.A. just 2.
