Congress: Hooray Uggos!

In news that should restore your desire to drink until your heart stops, the United States' Congress has actually taken time to salute America Ferrera's Golden Globe win. On the floor. While they're in session. You know, making motherfucking laws.

"Congresswoman Hilda L. Solis from California took to the floor of the US House of Representatives on Wednesday to publicly salute the star. Solis said, "Madame Speaker, I rise today to congratulate American Ferrera for winning the Golden Globe for best actress in a comedy for her work in ABC show Ugly Betty. Through her work, Ms. Ferrera is breaking down barriers for Latinos in prime-time television. I commend America and everyone involved in Ugly Betty for helping to break down stereotypes and provide a role model for young Latinas.""

No word on why Congress took time off from making sure that the country works to salute Ugly Betty but avoided any sort of mention to other trite "overcoming adversity" shows like Lipless Steve, The Dog Without An Anus, and Julio, The Exploding Honduran Nymphomanic.
