ANIMAL HOUSE RULES RULERS: Yesterday it was The Flounder Principle. Today we hear about the Delta House Congress:

In the movie “Animal House,” the fraternity brother known as Otter reacts to the Delta House’s closure with the classic line, “I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.” To which Bluto, played by John Belushi, replies, “We’re just the guys to do it.” The movie ends by noting that Bluto becomes a Senator, so perhaps this explains the meltdown among Democrats on Capitol Hill.

Memo to Congress: We’re not laughing with you. We’re laughing at you.
