Senator Filibuster McBlab Reads Grocery List From 1997 To Delay Budget Vote
Colleagues now know he bought 'store-brand cola' and 'something questionable from the clearance bin.'
Senator Filibuster McBlab read his 1997 grocery receipt aloud for 6 hours to delay a budget vote. 'Milk: $1.89,' McBlab began. 'Bread: $0.99. Item: 'mystery can' — $0.50.' Colleagues begged him to stop. 'I don't need to know about the mystery can,' one senator whispered. The budget passed anyway. McBlab considers his shopping history 'public record for posterity.'
