The word "lunatic" appears in the U.S. Code in Title 1, Chapter 1, which covers rules of construction. Chapter 1 holds that when determining the meaning of any law, "the words 'insane' and 'insane person' and 'lunatic' shall include every idiot, lunatic, insane person, and person non compos mentis."
They left out "moron" and "imbecile". Can you imagine if they applied this criteria to a Three Stooges Movie? LOL.

Now for a bill that would eliminate lunatics from Federal Government...

Let’s just cut back government to half time.
That would keep these loonies, from making work for themselves.
To: Sub-Driver
Boy, am I glad they did that. No need to pass a budget for an economy that’s totally destroyed. No. We hadda’ get rid of “lunatic” from federal law.

Every word in the English dictionary could be misconstrued as pejorative by someone or something! This feel-good LUNACY is mind-numbing. Lunatics don’t take offense to being called the same.

I’m sure glad that the Senate’s priorities are in order.
To: Sub-Driver
Good to see a focus on the most important stuff. Never mind the deficit.
To: Sub-Driver
Good thing Senators aren't firefighters; they'd be cutting the lawn while the house burns down.

I’m so happy to learn that we live in such times that our US Senate has nothing better to worry about than this.
Apparently, they have solved all our problems except this one....................(Maybe they are getting tired of being called lunatics?)

Yeah! Its not like they have any real work to do (like passing a budget maybe?)
To: ejonesie22
Exactly. Members of Congress want their feelings to avoid being hurt.

Remember, political “correctness” is the only thing that makes a language smaller.
If one wants proof that “lunatic” is a useful term, just play back a speech by the Obamadork, the Peloswitch, or Reid the Undead.

There is no dark side of the Moon, really. Matter of fact, it’s all dark.
