I Completely Missed This One ...

Updates

April 4, 2013:  This is actually quite funny.  I came back to correct a typographical error and ended up re-reading the original post. This time "... more than 25 million important-sounding "middle man" positions will be created in the white-collar sector for nonabled persons, providing them with an illusory sense of purpose and ability."

I don't know if I'm in the mood or have the energy to find the link to the story but it turns out, seriously, the 60-age form necessary to enroll in ObamaCare was known by the administration to be so challenging that it has planned to hire tens of thousands of "navigators" -- I kid you not, "navigators" -- to help people fill out this form. Wow, if reality doesn't follow satire in this administration. The administration may not create 25 million "navigators" but they will hire tens of thousands of former ACORN workers, no doubt, to help people a) sign up for ObamaCare; b) register to vote; and, c) make plans for their end-of-life event. Sort of like wedding planners.

Original Post

Signed by President Clinton back in 1998, Congress passed the "Americans With No Abilities Act" according to The Onion, which is reporting:
On Tuesday, Congress approved the Americans With No Abilities Act, sweeping new legislation that provides benefits and protection for more than 135 million talentless Americans.
The act, signed into law by President Clinton shortly after its passage, is being hailed as a major victory for the millions upon millions of U.S. citizens who lack any real skills or uses. 
Under the Americans With No Abilities Act, more than 25 million important-sounding "middle man" positions will be created in the white-collar sector for nonabled persons, providing them with an illusory sense of purpose and ability. Mandatory, non-performance-based raises and promotions will also be offered to create a sense of upward mobility for even the most unremarkable, utterly replaceable employees.
I now understand why the 2% sequester was needed.

Now, I'm trying to decide whether to walk to Starbucks for wi-fi this evening or suffer the alternative.
