>Congress Passes Americans With No Abilities Act
>
>WASHINGTON, DC 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 Bush shortly after its 
>passage, is being hailed as a major victory for the millions upon 
>millions of US citizens who lack any real skills or uses.
>
>Roughly 50 percent of Americans through no fault of their own do not 
>possess the talent necessary to carve out a meaningful role for 
>themselves in society, said Bush, a long time ANA supporter. Their 
>lives are futile hamster wheel existences of unrewarding, dead end 
>busywork: Xeroxing documents written by others, filling in mail in 
>rebates for Black & Decker toaster ovens, and processing 
>bureaucratic forms that nobody will ever see. Sadly, for these 
>millions of non abled Americans, the American dream of working hard 
>and moving up through the ranks is simply not a reality.
>
>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.
>
>The legislation also provides corporations with incentives to hire 
>non abled workers, including tax breaks for those who hire one non 
>germane worker for every two talented new hires.
>
>Finally, the Americans With No Abilities Act also contains tough new 
>measures to prevent discrimination against the non abled by banning 
>prospective employers from asking such job interview questions as, 
>What can you bring to this organization? and Do you have any special 
>skills that would make you an asset to this company?
>
>As a non abled person, I frequently find myself unable to keep up 
>with co workers who have something going for them, said Elaine 
>Gertz, who lost her position as an unessential filing clerk at a 
>Cleveland tile wholesaler last month because of her lack of notable 
>skills. This new law should really help people like me.
>
>With the passage of the Americans With No Abilities Act, Gertz and 
>millions of other untalented, nonessential citizens can finally see 
>a light at the end of the tunnel. Said Bush: It is our duty, both as 
>lawmakers and as human beings, to provide each and every American 
>citizen, regardless of his or her of value to society, some sort of 
>space to take up in this great nation.
